About
Mud is mood: the product finds its origin and its inspiration in the land, this primordial formless cluster that slowly comes to life and becomes Creative Matter, which in turn creates emotions and influences the mood of people who come in contact with it.
Mud is Mood is an Italian brand of accessories and furniture. It was founded in Umbria by the architect and designer Cristina Daminato. At Mud is mood we aim to combine Product Design and craftmanship to trigger new dynamics in our area, Umbria. This land, source of our inspiration, is the place where we are deeply rooted, thanks to the use of traditional workforce and techniques. Our mission is to carefully respond to contemporary taste and needs, always keeping an eye on the future and on innovation. Mud is Mood products are linear and elegant objects with a functional soul: stackable, modular and customizable, shapes and colors can be trasformed at any time by the user.

Mud is mood is a place of co-working, an atelier, a laboratory, a Design Studio. Manufacturing ideas doesn't only mean conceiving them, but concretely turn projects, studied and designed in detail, into Matter.
A place where different skills and abilities meet and where the combination of architecture, crafts and applied arts becomes reality.
