    what we are hoping to find

    The contest focuses on small home furniture and accessories that blend form and function. We seek designs that offer new perspectives on accessories for hallways, living rooms, dining rooms, offices, and more. These are not items to be hidden away but cherished as beautiful objects in themselves. Your proposal should complement the Muuto universe and our current assortment, creating functional yet sculptural pieces that enhance any room.
