We create our home. We step over the threshold and
we are – at home. The doors shut, and we are with
ourselves. With our own aromas and feelings, sounds
and silence, order, and habits. With our own feeling of time.
MUNIO home is a story about people and their homes.
MUNIO home is 100 different stories of the home told through objects. We are homemakers. We are home.
MUNIO home is the creation of three sisters, Elina, Laura, and Liene. They are 100% Riga city girls who spent their summers in Berzciems, the village their family comes from. The sisters’ lifeblood was formed by their grandparents: grandma taught peace, but grandpa – to always infuse activity with energy. All three are driven by a deep sense of family and a conviction that everything must be done thoroughly to the very end. The house in Engure, that grandpa built with dad, has a room for each of the six grandchildren – so that each has a space to call home and create home. For the sisters there is no question that objects made by Latvian craftsmen have always had a place there, it’s just the way it is. Wearing modern Latvian designer clothes or jewelry they feel pride. And courage. Design from your own country – it’s a backbone that supports you wherever you go.
MUNIO home is brought to India by Babita Bajaj. During her visit to Latvia, she came across the creation of three sisters, Elina, Laura, and Liene, who have created home objects made by Latvian craftsmen which are unique in designs and exclusive which every woman feels like acquiring to build her home
MUNIO home homewares have been designed by architect Zane Tetere. It was a tantalizing experiment with an astonishing but flawless result. As a full-blooded city dweller, who also spent her childhood summers in a summerhouse just outside the city, the urban landscape is a daily lifestyle. That’s why in this collection, Zane has encoded the flavor of city life and the solutions that industry offers and fused it with Latvian earthiness and a northern sensibility – a specific tonality and ancient techniques that the world has long forgotten, but Latvian masters still practice and use. That is what inspired, for example, city lace – crocheted lace in the form of maps of Tokyo and Riga that embellish the duvet covers.
The main characteristic of MUNIO home design is stylistic purity, monolithic, geometric dishes. Objects that stand out with intelligent discreet texture rather than bright colors. Materials gleaned from wild Northern nature – clay, birch bark, and linen. A perfect interplay of materials – wood enhanced by aluminum, glass by wood. A symbiosis of past and present, ancient tradition, interpreted through contemporary design. A homewares line is born where each natural material is both a feature and a compliment to the others
100 different stories of home, lived through objects. Clean and true, thereby making them rich and grand treasures.
