Grounded in Nature
For the third edition of the Muuto Design Contest, we are seeking design proposals that bring a new perspective to outdoor accessories and smaller furniture. We are especially interested in ideas that rethink outdoor spaces and explore the transition between indoor and outdoor living.
How can outdoor environments feel as welcoming and considered as our interiors? How can design blur the boundaries between inside and outside — physically, emotionally, and sensorially?
We are looking for designs grounded in nature — responding to natural surroundings, light, materiality, and tactility. The proposal should relate to outdoor or transitional spaces such as terraces, balconies, gardens, courtyards, or semi-covered environments, while introducing new perspectives that challenge traditional notions and elevate everyday living.
What we are hoping to find
We define Scandinavian design as functional, well-crafted pieces with enduring aesthetic and honest expression—a harmonious blend of form, function, materiality and tactility. Good design should be inviting, intuitively attractive, and spark curiosity.
Challenge design conventions by exploring how modern materials and techniques can transform traditional methods. Push boundaries in shape, craftsmanship, comfort, functionality, and durability. Consider how natural materials enhance materiality, tactility, and authenticity.
We seek products that stand out through innovation and offer a tactile experience, creating stronger connections between object and user. Consider how your design impacts the senses—how materials, shapes, colors, and space affect emotions and well-being. We want designs that feel intuitive, bringing calm, comfort, and balance while encouraging touch.
How to apply?
Please attach your design proposal as a PDF - maximum file size 20Mb. Your design proposal should clearly articulate the design process and contain the following:
- High-quality photographs or renderings capturing the essence of your design.
- Images of models or samples showcasing the physical embodiment of your design.
- Context visualizations showing the use of the product
- Considerations about the design's scalability.
