KUUMO

KUUMO is a French design brand for lounge seating for indoor and outdoor use — developed as a brand within the company MW, founded by designer Olivier Santini. The brand specialises in the development and production of seating solutions that blend transparency, colour and comfort in a refined balance between art and functionality. Every product is entirely made in France in collaboration with local craftspeople — a sustainable, quality-oriented approach. KUUMO positions itself as the ideal partner for architects, interior designers and professionals seeking customisable, innovative furniture with strong aesthetic appeal.

Materials and technology: main characteristic — panels in tempered glass or PMMA (Altuglas/acrylic glass) that discreetly support organically shaped, inviting seat cushions, creating a floating seat. PMMA: 92% transparency, lighter than glass, UV-resistant (30-year guarantee), impact-resistant, fully recyclable; 3 standard shades (clear, bronze smoke, blue-grey smoke) + 25 custom colours. Cushions: HR 30/HR 40 foam (indoor) or reticulated foam (outdoor — no water retention, 45-minute drying time). TPU seat cushions: transparent flexible material, 4–7 independent cushions in 6 colour variants. Upholstery: 3D Runner (technical fabric, 13 colours) or Soshagro vegan leather (5 colours, IMO FTP, EN, BS compliant). Glass/PMMA decoration: multilayer film printing, ceramic printing, engraving, sandblasting. Limited Edition: artist collaborations (Leah Kirsch, NEP). Models: MW01, MW02, MW03. BIM files available (Revit).

For architects and interior designers seeking for luxury hospitality, retail and residential projects a French design brand by designer Olivier Santini that produces lounge seating entirely in France by local craftspeople from tempered glass or PMMA (Altuglas) — floating seats that unite transparency, colour and organic comfort in a functional artwork — with a 30-year UV guarantee on PMMA, outdoor suitability through reticulated foam and unlimited customisation options for glass décor — KUUMO floats: glass or PMMA as the bearing element, organic seat cushions, 30-year UV guarantee, entirely made in France — and with artist collaborations for Limited Editions as proof that functional objects can be works of art.
