Matias Moellenbach: Danish design that turns daily rituals into sculpture
Some studios design for the moment. Matias Moellenbach designs against it.
Trained at Central Saint Martins in London and The Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts in Copenhagen, Danish designer Matias Møllenbach runs his studio from Dragør, a small harbour town just south of Copenhagen. Furniture, lighting, rugs and objects — all built on one conviction: that a piece should have its own language and timeless quality rather than follow a trend cycle.
Everything is designed and produced in-house, in close collaboration with artisanal craftsmen who make each piece by hand. That is how you get a sculptural vase, a workshop mirror — and OBA, a collection of translucent soap spheres resting on solid resin bases. Five colours, five fragrances developed from scratch, each one turning the most ordinary routine of the day — washing your hands — into a small ritual.
We carry Matias Moellenbach at supermerci because this is exactly what we mean by small brands, big stories: independent design with a clear point of view, made by hand, meant to last.
