Copenhagen – June 6, 2022 – During the first annual MillerKnoll Design Days that will take place in Chicago, the Scandinavian design company Muuto is inviting visitors to explore their immersive space to ask themselves: What makes a space feel just right to me? Recognizing that there is more to design than meets the eye, Muuto is investigating what design can do to make us feel more at ease, focused and grounded in our surroundings. Alongside the exhibition, Muuto will introduce six new designs by Iskos & Berlin, Thomas Bentzen and Anderssen & Voll.
On speaking about the motivation behind this year’s exhibition theme, Muuto's CEO, Anders Cleemann says:
“Everyone experiences design in vastly different ways —what deeply resonates with you might not with someone else. For this year’s Design Days, we’re encouraging our visitors to reflect upon the impact design has on how we feel.”
Take a walk through the Muuto showroom on the 5th floor and reflect on five key elements that help make a space feel just right—light, color, tactility, nature and form.
