Objects

Mues

Mues (Moults) is a series of woven accessories. Inspired by her experience as a foreign student living in furnished accommodation, the designer has created multi-purpose covers that can be used to transform or enhance objects, creating a sense of ‘home’, even if temporary, as part of a process of adaptation. Designed for easy handling, the covers can be adjusted to fit objects of various sizes. In this way, they meet the specific needs of the user, integrating into the space while establishing an emotional connection between the owner and the object.
