Introducing Moooi Ceramic Surfaces
Lifestyle brand Moooi reveals its first-ever ceramic surfaces collection: The Nesting Room. Balancing dreams and nature, the collection transforms organic inspirations and animal muses into tactile, architectural surfaces that offer sanctuaries of stillness in a world of constant motion.
Created in collaboration with Italian ceramics innovator ABK, The Nesting Room makes its official debut at Cersaie 2025 in Bologna, Italy. Following last year’s announcement of the partnership and a preview during Milan Design Week, Moooi now unveils the full collection in a dedicated installation, presented by founder and creative director Marcel Wanders.
THREE MOTIFS, THREE STORIES
The Nesting Room embraces a creative design philosophy that offers an antidote to a world in constant motion. Its ceramic surfaces echo the calm of nature’s most tranquil creatures, creating peaceful havens that nourish both body and soul. Faithful to the creative process for which Moooi is known and loved worldwide, the collection draws inspiration from organic animal forms, including extinct species. The Nesting Room features three motifs – Hypnotic Owl, Reiki Rhea, and Cloistered Dove – each embodying quiet, elemental forces that mirror nature’s cycles and tell a dreamlike story unfolding space by space throughout the installation at Cersaie.
"The Moooi Ceramic Surfaces collection transforms natural inspiration into a tactile, lasting experience. The Nesting Room is not just about surfaces; it is about creating sanctuaries of stillness where people can reconnect with themselves and the world around them. Everything in this new collection is applicable for hotels, large projects, and residential areas. Everybody can enjoy these beautiful new designs. With ABK we found a partner who, like us, dares to push the boundaries of what design can be."
– Marcel Wanders
A COLLECTION FOR EVERY SPACE
The Moooi Ceramic Surfaces collection offers endless possibilities for interiors of all scales. Available in four versatile sizes – 120x280, 120x120, 60x120, and 60x60 – the tiles are designed to be mixed and combined across rooms. Neutral bases with refined textures form a calm foundation, while decorative patterns inspired by Moooi’s Extinct Animals bring moments of storytelling and surprise. The large 120x280 statement slabs feature the animal motifs in full detail, creating dramatic focal points in both residential and hospitality projects. Together, the designs transform surfaces into immersive experiences that are as versatile as they are extraordinary.
A SANCTUARY AT CERSAIE
The Nesting Room is an exclusive space designed by Moooi and hosted within the ABK Group stand (Hall 29 - B59). It consists of a sequence of three rooms centred around the themes of wellness, meditation, and a sense of protection and warmth. This multisensory installation transforms the exhibition space into a restorative haven, inviting visitors to explore the relationship between design and nature. The Nesting Room experience will be further enhanced by Moooi’s signature lighting and furniture designs, including the iconic Egg Vase by Marcel Wanders.
