Meet the designer - Cecilie Manz

Cecile graduated from The Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts in 1997 and founded her own studio in Copenhagen in 1998.

Her work within furniture, glass, lighting, and ceramics has received international acclaim and is sold and exhibited all over the world.

“I view all my works as fragments of one big, ongoing story where the projects are often linked or related in terms of their idea, materials and aesthetics, across time and function.Some objects remain experiments or sculpted ideas, others are made more concrete and turn into functional tools.
The task or project itself often holds the key to inspiration; ideas don’t come from waiting but from leg-work, drafting and trials. My work goes from the inside out, and a project has to possess a sound, strong and relevant idea or functional justification before I address the actual physical design. My work has always revolved around simplicity, the process of working toward a pure, aesthetic and narrative object.”

Our top picks from her designs 

Workshop chair

An honest chair with a few but right details - its contrast between round and sharp edges, its visible wooden grains and its solid yet light proportions. An understated Scandinavian design object with harmonious craftsmanship detailing. 

Workshop table  

The Workshop Coffee Table is deliberately simple in its design and has an almost archetypical expression, boiled down to the essence of high quality craftsmanship. With its table top in oak veneer harmoniously carving itself into the frame of solid oak, the Workshop Coffee Table has a clean and understated expression.

Pouf

Designed for Fritz Hansen, 2016

Flip mirror

Flip is inspired by the traditional dressing table where one can check ones appearance in the mirror and at the same time keep all the small items that are nice to have close at hand before leaving the house.

Javier Moreno

The designer behind this piece says: "Typically, a mirror has only one function, but I wanted to design a mirror that could offer more. You usually look in the mirror just before leaving the house, so why not let it be there where you keep the last things you use to get ready, or need to remember just before you go?"

The Dots

These playful hooks have become a true Muuto icon through its characterful and functional expression. The Dots take a playful approach to the conventional coat hook with infinite possibilities and combination to create your own look.

Want to learn more about the design, Muuto recently visited the site that brings The Dots into the world and spoke to designer Lars Tornøe about his friendly family of coat hooks.

“The idea for The Dots came from something that wasn’t really design-related. I wanted to make a mobile with circled pieces of wood in different heights. While working on the sketches, I discovered that it wasn’t a mobile at all—it was a coat hook!”

“The Dots are composed of two pieces of wood that have been glued together. They’re put in a lathe and carefully shaped into the final form,” while noting that “the design is shaped so that there’s minimal waste of material.”

“The Dots strike the delicate balance of form and function to a high degree, making them a decorative object even when they’re not in use. It gives the design a friendly and playful character that really adds to the atmosphere of any room,” he says

To Tornøe, the most unique thing about The Dots is its possibilities: “The Dots are very versatile and can be used anywhere, whether it be the living room, a hallway, the kitchen or the bedroom. With the 18 different colors across four different sizes, you can combine The Dots exactly as you want. The possibilities are infinite,” Tornøe ends.
