It Starts With Enduring Designs
Long-Lasting Products—As a design-driven company, we
want our designs to be appealing now—and in the future.
Drawing on our Scandinavian heritage, we seek designs with
a distinctive character. Reflecting creative thinking that’s
rooted in functionality and crafted with forward-thinking
materials. The result is an enduring aesthetic that defies any
trend. Designs that last and that you would like to keep and
pass on to the next generation.
Testing is key to longevity. To keep our high quality high,
continuous testing is at the core of our development processes.
For high levels of strength and stability, our products are
certified by independent institutes that are well-respected
authorities in the industry.
According to Muuto’s general terms of sale and delivery,
the warranty is 5 years on all products tested to meet the demanding
strength, durability and stability standard, the North
American ANSI/BIFMA, and 3 years on all other products.
Reflecting On Materials
Conscious designs—Whenever we develop a new product
with our designers, we reflect on the impact it will have on
your health, your surroundings and the environment.
We continuously seek new perspectives and work with
the best in our industry to learn about new techniques and
materials. The search for the right materials is an integral part
of our design process and we put great importance on all the
materials that comprise a design. From the large components,
such as wood and textile, down to recycled materials used in
our designs and packaging, we consider a material’s origin and
life cycle.
Giving New Life To Plastic Waste—The new generation
of Fiber Chairs is designed with a conscious perspective
in mind and a wish to improve our environmental impact.
The whole Fiber Chair Family, without upholstery, uses a
minimum of 80% recycled plastic and FSC-certified wood
fibers (FSC C028824).
The Fiber Chair Family is an essential part of our product
portfolio and transforming our production of it is an ambitious
starting point in becoming more circular in our consumption
of raw material. In fact, by switching to recycled plastic, we
expect to reduce our use of virgin plastic by more than 80 tons
per year.
