Next Chapters in Scandinavian Design

For its 20th anniversary, Muuto turns the spotlight toward the future of Scandinavian design. Rather than revisiting past icons, the brand introduces two limited‑edition pieces, each released in 150 numbered units,  alongside a new book created with Gestalten. Together, they outline a more intentional, emotionally attuned direction.

The Close to Heart Chair by Spacon reworks industrial aluminum profiles into a surprisingly tender form. Hearts appear within the structure, softening the strict geometry and adding a quiet emotional charge. Crafted in Denmark, the chair balances precision with instinct, suggesting that rational design can still hold warmth.

Lise Vester’s Inner View Object takes a more atmospheric approach. Mouth‑blown in Murano, the curved glass shifts between reflection and distortion, catching light in layered tones. It behaves less like a mirror and more like a moment of pause — a small interruption that changes how a space is perceived.

Completing the release is Next Chapters in Scandinavian Design, Muuto’s new book with Gestalten. Through essays and visual narratives, it explores how color, tactility, light, and material presence shape contemporary interiors. It positions Scandinavian design not as a fixed aesthetic, but as an evolving practice rooted in intention.

Muuto’s anniversary collection signals a subtle shift: from function toward feeling, from clarity toward presence. A new chapter, written quietly but with purpose.
