Moooi is a Dutch furniture, interior, and lighting modern design company.[1] It was founded by Marcel Wanders and Casper Vissers in the Netherlands in 2001.
History and ownership
Designer Marcel Wanders first approached Moooi co-founder and former CEO Casper Vissers to help him market a designer lamp shade. Together they founded Moooi in 2001 with the intention of working with unconventional designers.[2] The company's name, "Moooi," is a twist on the Dutch word "mooi," meaning beautiful, with an extra "o" added to differentiate it and because the domain mooi.com was already taken.[3]
Wanders acts as both the Art Director and a designer of Moooi.[4]
Moooi's first international show was the Salone del Mobile
