MANU MATTERS
Cover image missing

MANU builds object-to-human relationships. Their objects are all ‘characters’ to live alongside — not bought and sold, but adopted. Working across waste streams, the material becomes both the starting point and the guide, allowing its limitations to shape the design of each object. They craft objects from PET bottles, lemon peels, or sand — depending on what’s available around them. MANU believes this philosophy can help us rediscover the value of finite raw materials, encouraging more respect and care for the objects we live with.

Step inside the Future of Craft in MANU's Micro Factory and meet the latest addition to the MANU family.

Yobiiro fuses traditional craftsmanship from regions across Japan with cutting–edge technology, transforming them into products that awaken the senses and emotions. It treats subtle shifts in light, scent, and temperature as colours that enrich everyday life. Like the first pour that draws water from a well, it invites new perception and awareness. Working with production regions, craftspeople, and technologists, Yobiiro explores forms of value beyond functionality or numbers—value meant to be felt. In doing so, it brings a first drop into daily life and sketches new possibilities for the future.

Since its founding in 2019, RYE has pursued a considered approach to bedroom design. Drawing on historical references and analogue traditions, the brand's focus is not on what a bed can do, but on what a bed should be—a quiet refuge that frames sleep through an emphasis on slowness, sculptural silhouettes, and tactile depth. Each piece is produced at RYE's own manufacturing facilities in the Danish Lake Highlands, where skilled craftspeople work with a range of locally sourced materials, to create a collection of bedroom furniture, mattresses and pillows.
