Creating inspiring objects to make life more beautiful
Muka Design Lab is an award-winning industrial design studio from the Basque region of Northern Spain. The designers are devotees of the Slow Design movement, specializing in sustainable, locally-sourced art designed to help people stay centered in a frenetic, overstimulated world. From sustainable furniture to unique home appliances to industrial design, Muka continually advances the idea that every great design begins with a story that gives life to each piece. They work with talented local artisans and craftsmen to turn those stories into everyday objects people love. Muka’s work has been featured in Architectural Design, Fast Company, Archi Expo, De zeen, Design Milk, El Pais, Diseño Interior and awarded at international design expos from Milan to Los Angeles.

What is your design philosophy?
To create friendly environments and inspiring objects that make life easier and more beautiful.
What inspires you (in design or in life)?
We are foodies— we are constantly inspired by new tastes and good food from different cultures.
You’ve designed a few lights with Gantri, including Arintzea and Maskor. How is Argizari different?
Argizari is a natural evolution of our studio’s aesthetics. We wanted to investigate forms inspired by ancient objects of Basque culture. We stayed true to the essence of the object and looked for a lot of volume.
Argizari references a Basque candle where spools of wax were wrapped around a wooden board and burned slowly. How would you describe the personality of the Argizari collection?
Argizari has a leading, inspiring, innovative and captivating personality. The sophisticated shape will make you feel refined, elegant and cosmopolitan.
"We want people to feel happy, in a cozy place, and with a sophisticated touch."
