Mogg: bold design without limits

A contraction of Mobili (furniture) and -Oggetti (objects), Italian publisher Mogg cultivates the art of creative impertinence by mixing styles in unconventional ways, with a healthy dose of humor and high standards of quality.

Mogg was founded in 2012 by Nicola Galbiati, an architect by training. Prior to that, Nicola spent almost fifteen years with the family furniture company MinottiItalia, where he became artistic director of the Moco line, which stands out with thePtolomeo book shelf by Bruno Rainaldi, winner of the 2004 Gold Compass (now published by Opinion Ciatti).

"Nicola Galbiati sums up: "Everything starts with the idea. Eclecticism is our hallmark, enabling us to stand out in a difficult market.

Mogg embodies an innovative concept in the world of high-end furniture. This Italian brand stands out for its bold vision and creative energy, which fuse traditional craftsmanship with a constant quest for innovation.

Ordinaryday, a Chest of drawers resembling a pile of simply stacked raw wood planks, designed by Belgian Raphaël Charles, sums up the spirit of the house. It's not our best-seller, but it represents us well. It's different, it's special, but we can use it every day."

Furniture to look at, but also to live with

Mogg is positioned as an alternative to the ordinary, with creations that are both surprising and functional, reinventing the codes of interior design. While Mogg's creations often display a touch of humor, like the Blabla lamp in the shape of a comic-book bubble in which a message can be inscribed, they always remain functional. One of our bestsellers, the Tri.Be.Ca floor lamp, conceals several shelves and USB sockets in its base.

A unique and inspiring identity

From the outset, Mogg's mission has been to reinvent the way we perceive objects and furniture. The brand defines itself by "Unlimited Design", which transcends the boundaries between art and functionality. Playing on contrasts - graphic lines versus organic curves, cold materials like metal combined with warm textures - each Mogg piece is designed to challenge.

Mogg's creations are characterized by an apparent simplicity uncluttered by superfluity, but studied down to the smallest detail. This approach is reflected in iconic products such as the "Ptolemy" Bookcase, an original concept imagined by Bruno Rainaldi, or the "Ordinaryday" chest of drawers, a cheeky, offbeat work of art by Belgian designer Raphaël Charles, which sums up the spirit of the house: different, special, but usable every day.

The soul of Mogg: a dialogue between tradition and modernity

At the heart of Mogg's philosophy is a unique ability to reconcile traditional craftsmanship with contemporary needs. Furniture pieces and objets d'art are crafted with meticulous attention to materials, whether Solid wood, Glass, Metal or innovative Textiles.

Sustainability is a priority for the brand, which favors eco-friendly materials and processes. For example, the natural finishes of the "Ordinary Day" tables or the "Cellula" modular shelves, designed by Studiopang and awarded the Young & Design Award 2018, testify to this commitment to responsible aesthetics.

Visionary collaborations

Mogg collaborates with some forty international designers, most of them Italian, but also Dutch, French and American. These include Philippe Nigro and Marcantonio Raimondi Malerba, creator of the famous "Monkeylamp" lamps for Seletti. At Mogg, he has designed bold pieces such as the "Piantama" Lamp, hanging from a log of rough-hewn wood, and the "Amazzonio" plant-based Pendant.

Claudio Bitetti, a former collaborator of Nicola Galbiati at Moco, joined Mogg in its early days and signed designs such as the "King & Queen" cork stools, which evoke chess pawns. Collaborations with emerging talents, spotted at events such as London Design Week or Milan's Salone Satellite, keep Mogg at the forefront of design.

Sustainability

With production carried out locally in the Brianza region, the epicenter of Italian design, Mogg favors short circuits to maintain exceptional quality while adhering to a responsible approach. Nicola Galbiati remains open to the idea of exploring international manufacturing options, while continuing to guarantee excellence.
