Concept
MU by Toan Nguyen is a modular lounge system of understated elegance and exceptional versatility. Easily adapted to any living space, it combines the comfort, modular logic and compact proportions of the best indoor systems with the kind of lightness, durability and weatherability only DEDON can provide. An ideal choice for chill-out, play or conversation areas, the collection is equally suited to large gatherings and intimate get-togethers. In addition to classic Vulcano, MU is also available in the cool, light gray of Accona. For Nguyen, the initial idea for MU was “to bring my know-how of indoor furniture — the culture of the sofa, the cushions, the details — to the outdoors.” The collection’s name derives from a Zen term that translates roughly as ‘reduced to pure essence.’ And as Nguyen himself explains, “We worked very hard to reduce volumes and everything unnecessary, focusing instead on comfort cushions and the ways in which modules can be combined.” MU is characterized by an almost obsessive attention to detail, from the seamless precision with which the modules’ legs fit together to the subtle complexity of the weave, which blends different widths and color gradations of DEDON Fiber. Most impressive of all, however, is the sheer diversity of configurations MU’s space-saving modular design makes possible.

Toan Nguyen
Italy
Graduating from the ENSCI (Paris) in 1995, Toan Nguyen pursued his training in Barcelona with Alberto Lievore. A couple of years after moving to Milan in 1996, he collaborated with Antonio Citterio for a decade. As Head of the Design Department and Partner, he co-signed numerous collections for leading design companies worldwide. In 2009 he founded his own studio in Milan, subsequently embarking on a series of successful collaborations with several major brands in high-quality industry and fine craftmanship in Europe, North America, and Asia, on furniture, lighting, ceramics, as well as on technological products. For Toan Nguyen design is a discipline intimately bound up with the object, in the traditional sense of the term. Priority is given to physical relationships with users. Displaying an immediate sense of meaningful utilization, precedence is accorded to intelligible forms and optimized manufacturing processes, without, however, ever neglecting the sensuality of materials and the emotional impact of the object. Toan Nguyen's creative individuality has been acknowledged by flagship contemporary design brands such as Dedon, Fendi Casa, Laufen, Rolf Benz, Vibia, Wendelbo, Brown Jordan, Coalesse, District Eight, RH, Studio TK, Lema, Viccarbe, Walter Knoll, among others, a substantial number of whose creations have been awarded prestigious international prizes.
