Founded in 1992 through the collaboration of designers Jouko Järvisalo and Pentti Hakala, Mobel is a Finnish furniture brand rooted in the Nordic tradition of clarity, functionality, and timeless design. From the start, the aim has been to create furniture that goes beyond function by shaping experiences, evoking emotions, and harmonizing with the spaces it inhabits.

Mobel designs customizable wood and steel furniture for demanding architectural spaces. Each piece is created to seamlessly complement the architect’s vision while addressing the smallest functional details of the space. We prioritize longevity and durability by carefully selecting materials and technical solutions, making Mobel a sustainable and intelligent choice for public interiors. Art serves as the foundation for all our design work, inspiring shapes and structures that are translated into new forms.

Several Mobel designs have received international recognition and are part of the permanent collections of design museums. In addition, Mobel's pieces have been featured in various exhibitions that celebrate Scandinavian and modernist design traditions.

Join us in creating captivating moments, making us think and remember. Experience the essence of pure shapes and modernism with Mobel.

”Lightness and sensibility to silence are my aim. Design is the union of mind and matter. A piece of furniture is created when thinking meets with the material used, as a result of the pondering that takes place in the middle ground between handiwork and the machine”.
