OUR SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY
At Muuto, our ambition is to add new perspectives to
Scandinavian design—something that often prompts us
to work with innovative materials that lessen our impact
on the environment. Take the Restore Basket and Under
The Bell Pendant Lamp, both made using recycled PET
bottle fibers as well as our Fiber Chair Family, created in
an innovative composite with up to 25% pine wood fibers.
Being a Scandinavian design company, wood appears in
many of our designs with oak, beech, pine and ash being
the most common types, all of them being sorts that are
non-endangered, sourced from sustainably managed
forests. Our products are designed to last which in itself
eases their impact on the environment. We view responsible
manufacturing processes as integral to our design
philosophy. We work to ensure that all our manufacturers
are socially responsible and operate with the highest
of ethical standards. Our manufacturers and suppliers
adhere to the United Nations principles of human rights,
anticorruption and non-use of child labor, as outlined in the
United Nations Global Compact.
YOUR GUARANTEE OF
HIGH-QUALITY PRODUCTS
To ensure that our designs have a high durability that will
allow for them to be used for many years into the future,
extensive testing is at the heart of our development process
alongside producing in accordance with ethical guidelines
and environmental requirements.
As an integral part of this, most of the furniture within the
Muuto collection has passed extensive testing within the
areas of strength and stability across various levels of the
ANSI/BIFMA and EN-tests. As part of the aim to create
products that lessen the impact on the environment, Muuto
also participates in Declare with an extensive selection of
furniture being Living Building Challenge Compliant. Adding
to that, a number of furniture designs are Global GreenTag
GreenRate Level C certified.
