Founded by Peter Bonnén and Kristian Byrge, Muuto is a Danish design company that is "striving to expand the Scandinavian design tradition with new and original per– spectives." In fact, the name Muuto is inspired by the Finnish word muutos, meaning "a new perspective." The company handpicks the brightest design talent in Scandinavia and invites them to express their stories through everyday objects, resulting in what some are calling "new Nordic" – still true to the heritage of the '50s and '60s but with a more international approach that resonates around the globe.
