Mumutane is an inspirational mix of Nordic aesthetics and vibrant African expression. African wax print textiles contain many tales and stories of life in Africa, which gives the products a special dimension and story. Every cushion is unique. The front is made of wax print textile purchased from small, local textile shops in West Africa. The back is made of deadstock textile from the Danish luxury company, Kvadrat. The objective is to create ’products with purpose’, which is why Mumutane has a sustainable approach with a focus on minimising textile waste, create jobs in low-income countries and support production with social impact tailoring businesses in Denmark. This sustainable agenda and give work philosophy is a mindset that is rooted in the core of Mumutane's strategy. Therefore, when the new cushion collection was awarded with 'Product of the Year' in Denmark in August 2021, we became even more proud. The cushions are adaptable to your preferences: one side express Nordic minimalism and the other African liveliness. This cultural crossover adds a personal and playful interior experience to any conscious, modern home.
