Australian design has long had a fascination for me. The continent that seems further removed than any other (if you live in the UK) has a wonderful cultural mix with strong European as well as Asian influences which makes their creative scene absolutely thrive, producing some of the most innovative designs around.

MuBu Home popped up on one of my late night browsing sessions and is a case in point. Based in Melbourne the furniture and homeware company was set up by husband and wife team French/German Saskia Butin and Australian Michael Urban who met whilst they were both working in Vietnam. Michael is a very much the creative force behind MuBu who came to appreciate the Scandinavian aesthetic and concept of form and function during his time as a chef in Copenhagen before changing careers and working for an Australian furniture manufacturer that brought him to Vietnam.

When their daughter was born the couple struggled to find the kind of quality yet affordable furniture you get in Europe and Michael ended up designing and building all the nursery furniture himself. This was the catalyst to start MuBu Home and they’re now producing their own range of furniture in Vietnam as well as importing furniture by Danish designers that are manufactured in Vietnam.

Along their online store they have recently set up a bricks and mortar shop in Melbourne where Saskia and Michael love helping people furnish their home making sure their customers have a great shopping experience. Design, quality and affordability are MuBu’s cornerstones and they work closely with manufacturers to ensure there is no compromise on any of their values.

I absolutely adore MuBu’s range and their simple and clean aesthetics styled perfectly by Saskia who tells me that their future plans not only include designing more products but also coming up with a concept that combines two of their biggest passions: food and furniture.

I can’t wait!
