Moustache

Already founders and promoters of the brand Domestic, in 2009 the two business partners Stéphane Arriubergé and Massimiliano Iorio devoted themselves to their new and innovative "Moustache" project. The term moustache recalls the iconic French style of a certain cut of mustache, well-known all over the world. Moustache designs and creates furniture and household items inspired by tradition, but completely reinvented with a distinct modern and innovative touch. The furnishing accessories designed by Moustache are all meant to last over time. Contemporary furniture with an unconventional mood. In a few years after its foundation, the brand manages to start some collaborations with like-minded designers that share its design philosophy; names such as François Azambourg, Big-Game, Matali Crasset, Ana Mir + Emili Padros and Inga Sempé, Sébastien Cordoléani, Benjamin Graindorge, Dylan Martorell and Ionna Vautrin.

Moustache. The name of the brand takes us back to a classic style, but Stéphane Arriubergé and Massimiliano Iorio revisited it with a heavy dose of irony and lightness. Among the objectives of the brand, there is above all to focus on a certain "French style" going against the globalizing trend that, according to the designers duo, is ruling on contemporary design. Arriubergé and Iorio try to achieve this result also by promoting the work of designers who have an affinity with their brand, from a mental or territorial point of view.

The house of Stéphane Arriubergé and Massimiliano Iorio is a real test bench for all their creations: "We consider it as a prototype," explained Maximilian "a mean to verify that Moustache ideas are compatible with real life. Every time we make something new, we keep it with us for a while, like a pet." The company creates design items dedicated to the house: chairs, tables, lamps, stools, benches, shelves, rugs, vases, mirrors, hangers, trophies, hooks, clocks and accessories, with increasingly innovative lines, thanks to the diverse backgrounds of numerous designers.

The objects produced by Moustache have such a revolutionary appeal that they form part of the permanent collections of museums such as the MoMA of New York, the FNAC (National Fund for Contemporary Art), the National Art Center, the Museum of decorative arts in Paris, the MAKK museum of decorative arts in Cologne and the Museum für Gestaltung of Zurich. A collection of objects linked together following the principles of modernity, simplicity and accessibility to the public.

The characteristic and singular iconic sign of the mustache, that distinguishes and identifies the personality of this creative French company, is now a recognized signature in the world of design. In addition, another objective, fully achieved, of the Moustache production, is to work on economic accessibility, providing affordable objects for all pockets.

Moustache offers a creativity able to show new production methods; its objects and furniture drag the final user in the contemporary history of modern design. In designing a sustainable domestic world Moustache pays a special attention to the ecological factor. Moustache's philosophy is steeped in the history of art and technology, combining them to the present time in all its designs and projects. The search for new aesthetic forms, the functional and relevant responses typical of a careful and responsible production are essential factors for this company.

But who are the designers who contributed to the success of Moustache? Let's get to know them a little more.

Cocktail Designers
Born in Lyon in 2004, the group includes: Claire Moreux and Olivier Huz who deal with graphic design; Olivier Vadrot and Lionel Mazelaygue, who are architects, designers and curators of the brand. The accomplishments signed by Cocktail Designers revolutionize the same concept of decoration; each one of their creation is a real scenography that calls into question the ability of objects to exist by themselves and build their own meaning or tell a story.
