Moooi
This furniture, interior, and lighting design company known for its “eclectic” collections;, founded by Marcel Wanders and Casper Vissers in the Netherlands in 2001, takes its name from the Dutch word for beautiful (mooi, pronounced “moy”).〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.moooi.com/sites/default/files/press-files/press_release_moooi_founders_regain_100_control_over_the_company_0.pdf?1429870512 )〕 According to Vissers, the extra O is intended to convey “extra value in terms of beauty and uniqueness.” The brand’s mission statement is to “make the environment more beautiful, inspiring, and exciting.” 〔(【引用サイトリンク】Design.daily">url=http://www.designdaily.com.au/blog/2014/7/casper-visser-mooois-ceo-talks-business )〕 Moooi’s motto is “The Unexpected Welcome.”
== History & Ownership==
Designer Marcel Wanders and Moooi co-founder and former CEO Casper Vissers began their partnership when Wanders approached Vissers to help him market a designer lamp shade. Together they founded Moooi in 2001 as a platform for unconventional designers to see their designs realized.〔
Moooi made its international debut at the Salone del Mobile in Milan in 2001, the year of founding. In 2002 entrepreneur Hans Lensvelt, owner of the LENSVELT brand of office furniture, became a 33% owner of the company. Prominent Italian design brand B&B Italia acquired a 50% share in the company in 2006, which it held until 2012. That year, founders Wanders and Vissers became the majority owners again after buying back half of the stock owned by B&B Italia and the remaining shares held by Lensvelt (by this time 10%).〔(【引用サイトリンク】Dezeen">url=http://www.dezeen.com/2012/03/09/Moooi-founders-regain-majority-ownership-of-brand )〕 In 2015 Wanders and Vissers, who previously owned 50% of the company, again became the majority shareholders.〔(【引用サイトリンク】Marcel Wanders website">url=http://www.marcelwanders.com/news/moooi-founders/ )〕
Vissers stepped down as Moooi CEO in 2015, and he and Wanders announced Robin Bevers as his replacement. Bevers, for 10 years the Managing Director of the Marcel Wanders Studio, will begin his duties as Moooi CEO in September 2015. Wanders continues to act as Art Director and Paul Molenschot as General Manager.〔(【引用サイトリンク】Dezeen">url=http://www.dezeen.com/2015/05/31/moooi-co-founder-ceo-casper-vissers-steps-down-after-14-years/ )〕
