The Dutch design label mo man tai was founded by industrial designer Ulrike Jurklies eighteen years ago.
Next to designing for our own product label the studio also offers design services for third parties, focusing on full cooperation, sustainability and (re-)use of innovative materials.
Our clear, uncomplicated, colourful aesthetics and the combination of old traditions with modern production techniques often form the basis for timeless design more pleasure of use and a happier customer.
We are experts in concept development, product and interior design.
Challenges encourage us to design meaningful solutions. We enjoy to design, because every object, every space has the potential to connect with the consumer and give him pleasure every day.
Studio mo man tai believes in progress – design brings solutions.
We see ourselves as creative service providers, designing spaces and products with the goal of improving.
We are not afraid of change – without change, things stay the same and ultimately will stagnate and die. Without change there is no adventure in life.
[mó, man, tai] (cantonese) = no problem
“To design is much more than simply to assemble, to order, or even to edit: it is to add value and meaning, to illuminate, to simplify, to clarify, to modify, to dignify, to dramatize, to persuade, and perhaps even to amuse. To design is to transform prose into poetry.”
