"We love Scandinavian design for its balance of functionality and warmth. To us, Scandinavia is probably the place where people’s awareness of design is the most developed, across all generations. Dynamic innovative brands such as Muuto are keeping this pioneering spirit alive and we are proud to bring our contribution to its heritage." - Big-Game
