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.

Lammhults convinces design as a great potential to improve everyday lives and to contribute to more meaningful and sustainable ways of living. The optimistic spirit is a defining characteristic of Lammhults – a vital part of their heritage since 1945. Lammhults develops contemporary design for various kinds of spaces – public spaces, modern offices, and domestic spaces. Inhabited spaces have a strong influence on oneself. Some spaces make you creative, social, and generous, others enable you to slow down and to reflect. Lammhults believes in the importance of that space. Good design contributes to shape dwellings and surroundings in ways that are relevant both today and tomorrow.

SF–SO is an industrial design studio operating between San Francisco and Seoul, founded in 2019 by Jaehoon Jung and Hoyoung Joo. The studio focuses on simplifying the relationship between users, objects, and their environment rather than creating attention–seeking forms. Through the refinement of structure, manufacturing logic, and function, SF–SO reduces visual and physical complexity, allowing objects to exist quietly within everyday environments.This approach extends into its furniture brand SFSO–MFG®, where the studio translates its philosophy into tangible products meant to be understood through use and physical experience.

Life is too short for boring lighting. At Wever & Ducré, they know it—the familiar glimpse at the ceiling during which one thinks: “Well, everyone really does have that light.” That is why they strive to achieve lighting solutions that first and foremost fit the description: unique. Who inspires them in the process? People like you, who share their enthusiasm for beautiful things and attach as much importance to noble design as to high-quality workmanship. Does it sound passionate? Well, that’s exactly what it is. After all, life is simply far too short for boring light fixtures.

Vipp is a Danish, 3rd generation family–owned company. Founded by metalsmith Holger Nielsen in the small town of Randers, Denmark in 1939, his entrepreneurial debut was a practical waste bin initially crafted for his wife’s hair salon. When Holger passes away in the beginning of the nineties, his daughter Jette inherits the bin and a metal workshop in the backyard of her childhood home in Randers. Joined by her children, Kasper and Sofie, they set out to transform the bin into a brand. Today, with its steadfast commitment to product engineering and design, Vipp equals a full–blown design universe of furniture, lighting, accessories, kitchens, and guesthouses
