Mubu is an Australian business and brand but we have always been inspired by the timeless appeal and effortless elegance of Scandinavian design, it just speaks to our hearts and values. We love clean lines, minimalist silhouettes, the focus on functionality and of course the sense of calm and serenity it brings to any space. 

Mubu is proud to offer a range of furniture pieces that embody the essence of Scandinavian design, allowing you to create a home that is both beautiful and practical.

First, let’s go back a bit… Scandinavian design emerged in the mid-20th century and is rooted in the principles of simplicity, functionality, and minimalism. Inspired by the natural beauty of the Nordic landscape, Scandinavian design emphasises clean lines, neutral colours, and the use of natural materials such as wood, leather, and wool. The goal of Scandinavian design is to create spaces that are both aesthetically pleasing and highly functional, with an emphasis on comfort and practicality.

At Mubu, we believe that well designed pieces should be widely accessible. That's why we're committed to offering high-quality furniture that is not only stylish but also smart in design and functional. Our Scandinavian-inspired designs are crafted with care and attention to detail, using sustainable materials and production methods. Whether you're furnishing a cosy apartment or a spacious family home, our furniture is designed to fit seamlessly into your lifestyle.

How to Incorporate Scandinavian Design into Your Home

1. Neutral Colour Palette: Scandinavian design is known for its use of light, neutral colours such as white, grey, and beige. These colours create a sense of lightness and airiness, making small spaces feel larger and more open. At Mubu, we offer a range of furniture in timeless hues that are perfect for creating a Scandinavian-inspired look in your home. Our collection includes exquisite timber shades like American White Ash, American White Oak, Canadian Maple, Walnut and Tasmanian Oak to name a few. Book an appointment with us to see our timbers but also the range of fabrics we work with, there are so many beautiful materials to choose from.

2. Clean Lines and Minimalist Shapes: The hallmark of Scandinavian design is its clean lines and minimalist shapes. Our furniture pieces feature sleek, uncluttered designs that are both modern and timeless. Whether you're looking for a minimalist bed frame or a sleek dining table, our furniture is designed to create a sense of calm in your home and the assurance that it won’t go out of style.

3. Natural Materials: In keeping with the Scandinavian aesthetic, our furniture is crafted from high-quality timber and other natural materials. Wood is a central element of Scandinavian design, symbolising the connection to nature and the outdoors. Our furniture pieces are made from sustainably sourced timber, ensuring that they are not only beautiful but also environmentally sustainable.

4. Functionality and Versatility: Scandinavian design is all about creating spaces that are both stylish and functional. Our furniture pieces are designed with versatility in mind, allowing you to adapt them to your changing needs and lifestyle. Whether you're hosting a dinner party or lounging with family and friends, our furniture is designed to meet your needs and enhance your living space. Another aspect we focus on is the assembly of our products, which is at the heart of our design process and philosophy. We ensure our products are easy to assemble and also pull apart if need be, without compromising their strength and durability.
