Master of simplicity
Designer of Liner
Starting his career as a freelance outdoor designer, Belgian
designer Bram Bollen (1979) has developed a penchant for
simplicity and a keen eye for detail over the years. With a
degree in media and design and inspired by architectural lines
and interior design, he creates contemporary, refreshing works.
For Manutti, he designed the perennial Liner collection, which

Establishing timeless connections
Designer of Cobi
After studying industrial design in Montreal, American designer Matthew
Townsend (1992) pursued his passion for furniture design by moving to
Florence, Italy. Aesthetics and functionality come together perfectly as
Matthew constantly finds creative new ways to use materials in his designs.
“Establishing a strong personal connection between user and the design is
what makes a piece timeless” says Matthew, who believes that good design
comes down to the user’s experience and perception of that piece. Matthew’s
creative application of materials lies at the heart of the design of the Cobi
coffee table collection – a unique range of customizable coffee tables that
can stand alone, but also integrate perfectly with Manutti’s other collections.
