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.

Bretz combines two seemingly opposing yet fundamental desires in life: on one hand, its creations take you on fantastic journeys filled with adventure and freedom; on the other hand, they envelop you, providing a sense of safety and security. This vision comes to life in the brand’s workshop, where Bretz boldly pushes forward with a pioneering spirit, while also drawing on over a century of German upholstery tradition. Born from a passion for the unexpected and refined by sophisticated production techniques, Bretz creates exceptional modular and multifunctional designs. Only when a sofa, bed, armchair, or accessory has been perfected down to the finest detail will it meet the brand’s exacting standards.
