Contemporary m2kr Mappamondo Multifunctional Bench, 2017

Functional Aesthetics: Life is continuously changing. Inspired by the principle of metamorphosis, Milan based design label m2kr creates timeless pieces in well balanced compositions. Using only the finest materials, the sculptural pieces of furniture are manufactured by trusted and renowned craftsmen in Italy. The label was founded by Myriam Kuehne-Rauner in 2016. Filigree yet glamourous: Sophisticated material and colour combinations as well as illustration details, m2kr turns allusions into art deco. Variety of uses as well as combinations – transformation of the objects, depending on the owner’s preference. The designer Myriam Kuehne-Rauner defines her concept: „I would like to invite people to participate in the transformation of objects, discovering their various uses and integrating them into their own life styles. Our surroundings as well as our needs are continuously changing. A piece of furniture should adapt to the owner’s life style, whether it’s today or 10 years from now. That’s when design comes alive.” M2kr exclusively produces in Italy, in small manufactories and in cooperation with renowned craftsmen, thus masterfully blending contemporary design with tradition and quality. The objects are built to order within six to eight weeks.
