Furniture plays a huge part in how a space feels: the curve of a chair, the way light falls across a table, a vase you never get tired of looking at. Danish design brand Muuto puts the spotlight on these details, creating furniture and lighting pieces that feel familiar while offering something new. In this article we explore Muuto’s design philosophy, and why its pieces are so well suited to New Zealand homes.
We’re proud to introduce the Muuto range to Nextdore. Explore online, or visit the showroom to experience the collection in person.
Scandinavian design for New Zealand living: the Muuto collection brings the best of international design to New Zealand homes.
The name Muuto comes from the Finnish word muutos, meaning “new perspective”. Muuto draws on Scandinavian design traditions of function, craftsmanship and enduring appeal, then applies fresh interpretations.
The result is a collection full of character, with pieces that feel exciting and contemporary without sacrificing functionality or becoming trend-based.
Familiar functions, fresh interpretation: the Silent vase (L), Strand table lamp (L) and Kink vase (R) are eye-catching additions to any space.
Muuto’s designs are intended for everyday spaces, where comfort and practicality matter as much as appearance. Each piece is designed to enhance a space rather than overwhelm it, which suits the relaxed, cohesive interior schemes that are popular in New Zealand homes.
The In Situ and Connect modular sofas are the perfect demonstration of this approach; sculpturally designed pieces that prioritise personalisation and comfort. Both sofas have a wide selection of components and angles, so they can be tailored to your home and design style.
The Connect sofa can be configured to suit your home and lifestyle. Also pictured: the Muuto Relevo rug and Around coffee table.
Muuto’s approach also considers how furniture and decor engage the senses. Their designs explore how light, colour, shape and texture can trigger emotions, and define the ambience of a space. The result is pieces that are designed to be enjoyed, not just utilised.
The Mere bowl (L) and Raise carafe and glasses (R) elevate everyday moments.
If you’ve been considering enhancing your space, the Muuto collection is full of options. From decor and tableware to furniture and lighting, there’s something to suit every home.
Muuto’s design deserves to be experienced in person. Discover the range at our Christchurch showroom, where you can explore the collection and find the perfect piece for your space.
The Cover armchair (L) and Relate side table (R) represent Muuto’s design philosophy: building on time-honoured design traditions to offer something inspiring and unique.
