About design

For us, good design begins with the question of what an object changes in a room – how we use it, how it feels and what atmosphere it creates.
Most MAOMI designs are by Uta. A special collaboration connects us with the artist Emanuel Boos: ELEPHANT FEET and HOOKS grew out of an engagement with his œuvre.

In the design process we work intensively on proportions, materials and surfaces. Forms are changed and reduced again and again until an object feels self-evident. Several of our designs have since received international design awards – a recognition we are very happy about.

What ultimately matters to us, however, is what an object does in everyday life: how a plate changes a set table, a hook a wall, or a piece of furniture a room.
