MÄVINN collection: combining social entrepreneurship and design

MÄVINN products are much more than decorations: they're traditional craftsmanship in innovative materials and into every one is opportunity and purpose for those who need it most.

The only thing that pops are the colours

Our social business partner ROPE is located in a region of India known for its firecracker factories and their unsafe working conditions. ROPE provides a safe, fair-paying alternative where women get to use their craft skills. Set your table with a handwoven MÄVINN place mat or table-runner to celebrate traditional craftsmanship.

Come closer to nature with a banana lampshade

In the MÄVINN collection, we strive to use natural, renewable and biodegradable materials, such as banana bark and jute, whenever we can in the production.

“I used to work in a hospital as a nurse, but after I had the baby I couldn’t work there anymore. Since they offer childcare here, my child is safe and I can work without worrying. Now that we have two incomes, we are managing.”

Let artisanal accessories enhance your dining room

Match the striped MÄVINN apron with a set of MÄVINN curtains and a tote bag. Dobby-woven by hand with embroidered details, they add a rustic feel to your home. By hanging pots from the ceiling or putting utensils in jute storage baskets and hanging them on the walls, you can optimise your space with a natural look.
