MANU MATTERS

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.

Furniture is understood as a concept with a will of its own, conveying a distinct expression. Källemo’s ambition is to create objects that endure over time— aesthetically, artistically, physically and metaphysically. As founder Sven Lundh once stated, “An object shall stand the wear of the eye,” recognising that visual endurance is the most demanding test. Källemo collaborates with designers and artists who value quality beyond trends, while possessing the ability to surprise, challenge and contribute strong personal expressions. The brand places equal trust in the precision of cutting–edge technology and in the hand that adds the final, personal and almost magical touch.
