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.

Studio ByHAA is an architectural design studio working in the intersection of craft, design, architecture and landscape. Our interior designs are handcrafted i Egypt through a dialogue with the local artisans and the Danish designers. We create from an understanding that all things and scales are connected. For us, design begins with the land, its textures, its rhythms, and the hands of the people who shape it. Our practice is about bringing the outside in, both literally and spiritually, by building spaces and creating objects that create a sense of belonging. We believe that the handmade has a capacity to reconnect people with the land, with nature, with a tangible time perspective from where we can feel ourselves at ease.
