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.

Picture the north. Rugged landscapes, breathtaking scenery, mountains, fjords, endless woods, and clear blue waters. Rough winters for contemplation. Bright summer nights for socializing. This is Norway. Focus on Oslo. A tiny urban culture with friendly vibes. Diverse people. A mix of talent, peace, and vibrancy. A place to feel at home. Northern, born in Oslo in 2005, is a small Norwegian producer crafting the very best in furniture, lighting, and design accessories. Blending creativity with traditional craftsmanship, is what makes Nordic design cooler and ever more beautiful—by continuously improving and challenging ourselves, and making the Northern collection more unified in spirit and style. From Oslo, with love.
