subscribe to rss feedSince April 2001, Moooi has inspired and seduced the world with sparkling and innovative designs within the interior industry. The founders Marcel Wanders and Casper Vissers decided to change the already existing brand Wanders Wonders into Moooi, (meaning beautiful in their native language, Dutch) with one extra ‘o’ because it is extra beautiful. The reinforcing strengths of both men are still sublime; Marcel, the obstinate designer with a keen eye for business and Casper, the marketeer with a keen eye for design.

APPROACH
The interior designs are selected by Marcel Wanders himself. The reasons for this diverge considerably . Sometimes an item has super-functionality, sometimes a design is brilliantly creative and sometimes dazzling. But occasionally, what we all like the most is when all this can be found at the same time. Moooi wants to preserve the balance in its collection between unique objects, icons and functional products for every day use... the silent friends.
PHOTOGRAPHY – Edland Man & Erwin Olaf
As part of the positioning of Moooi within the spectrum of brands, they have cooperated with famous photographers such as Edland Man and Erwin Olaf for their advertising imagery. This has resulted in a series of images that is at least as provocative and creative as the products itself.
