Care to dance? Marcel Wanders’ Charleston sofa is our dancing partner this year …a smooth and supportive friend to teach you today’s most elegant moves! Charleston actually stands on its side as if enthralled in a dynamic dance.
Caution: Heavy! The marble version of the Compression Sofa designed by Paul Cocksedge for Moooi is made from six tons of Carrara Marble.
Making an Entrance: The Entrance to Moooi’s presentation this year will be graced with the presence of Rijks, Masters of the Golden Age, an art publication that pays homage to the 17th-century Dutch masterpieces from the Rijksmuseum’s Gallery of Honour. The project, entirely art directed by Marcel Wanders, was accomplished over three years with the same company who prints books for the Vatican. The publication combines the testimonies of 30 thought leaders and craft masters from around the world. “This book is about how the greatest masterpieces influence how we see the world today", says Marcel Wanders.
Business angle: Robin Bevers, Moooi’s new CEO, is eager to meet you personally in Milan! “2016 will be my most exciting Salone del Mobile yet, not only because of the new delicate yet poignant style of our presentation, but also as this will be my first year as CEO of Moooi”, states Robin Bevers, appointed to his new role in September 2015.
Keep calm and carry on: This year Moooi is going to open a showroom and brand store in London, on the 19th of May, and another one in Tokyo just a month later.
