Muuto is a brand we very much admire at TLS. From the flash of yellow in their playful teapots to the curved lines in the Corky Carafe, and now with the exciting news of the incoming arrival of the Rest Sofa by Anderssen & Vol. (BTW – exclusive to TLS for the first two months from its release date) TLS thought its about time, we talked a little more about Muuto. Or rather post something on our blog or better still, waffle on about the wonderful designs and products from the Scandinavian ‘pop’ mind that is Muuto. Click the MUUTO logo at the bottom to watch a short video on the brands products.

Here a little more from Muuto themselves.

We are striving to expand the Scandinavian design tradition with new and original perspectives. In fact, our name Muuto, inspired by the Finnish word muutos, means new perspective.
To us good design starts with the person. We handpick the brightest design talent in Scandinavia and give them the freedom to express their individual story through everyday objects. Some want to alter the world, others find passion in colour and shape or draw deeply from personal experience. How do they see a chair, vase, lamp or any other everyday product?

You will know our design because it has muutos. Objects made sublime through new perspectives, enjoyed across the world, representing the best of Scandinavian design today.

TLS, are of course fans of the great work of Charles and Ray Eames. So we thought a post on the Eames House (also known as Case Study House No. 8) was well overdue.

The Eames House is a landmark of mid-20th century modern architecture located at 203 North Chautauqua Boulevard in the Pacific Palisades neighborhood of Los Angeles. It was constructed in 1949 by husband-and-wife design pioneers Charles and Ray Eames, to serve as their home and studio.

For more information go to the eamesfoundation.org which features a certain Mr Ice Cube taking a trip around the the House.
