Wood meets steel and leather, curves meet smooth surfaces: The Zurich-based label pan mobili combines classic materials and straightforward design to create timelessly elegant pieces of furniture. The minimalist designs fit seamlessly into any living space and leave enough room to work, live and dream.
Founded in 2015 by Blanca Huss D'Ciofalo and Felix Krüttli, pan mobili grew out of a fascination for balanced interior design and design with history. As studied architects, the two take into account the environment of their designs as well as the tradition on which they are built: Felix Krüttli, for example, began creating his first pieces of furniture in his youth in his father's carpentry shop. This enthusiasm became a shared and enduring passion for the couple.
Expressive attitude, imbued with passion for material, is what makes the products of pan mobili.
By combining strongly shaped materials and minimalistic design, the beds, daybeds and sideboards by pan mobili naturally assert their place in the room and yet appear so subtle, as if they were floating freely. The designs are developed and continuously refined in close collaboration with small craftsmen's workshops in southern Germany. Production is carried out locally with renowned European manufacturers. The balance between small-scale production, precision craftsmanship and modern individuality is the guiding principle.pan mobili designs are complemented by accessories that the couple discovered on their travels.
Combined with the furniture, this creates a curated living world that embodies what pan mobili stands for: a unique mélange of craftsmanship and the avant-garde.
