Maniko
ABOUT THE BRAND
Maniko was born to combine aesthetics and practicality in one piece of furniture. It was inspired by the creator's two adopted dogs, Manci and Masat, and the realisation that most pet furniture is either not very pretty or serves only one function. As a family business, their furniture is made sustainably in Europe and their aim is to make it not only beautiful, but also practical and timeless. Thanks to their modular design, each item has multiple uses: it can be a pet shelter, a nursery storage unit or simply a piece of furniture that looks great. Maniko plans for the long term: because each piece of furniture can be easily adapted and upgraded, there is no need to replace it permanently, helping to reduce unnecessary consumption.
ABOUT THE DESIGNERS
The idea for the Maniko product line was born when Lili Pammer and Tamás Boldizsár were searching for pet furniture for their dogs and realized that the market lacked products that not only function as a dog house or bed but also possess the aesthetics and functionality of contemporary furniture, seamlessly fitting into a modern home interior. After developing the concept and design language, they created a modular system made of colorful steel panels that can be assembled into various pieces of furniture. Future buyers can choose from a predefined color palette to customize the steel elements. This allows for a restrained, Scandinavian-style piece just as much as a vibrant, Memphis Group-inspired home accessory.
ABOUT THE EXHIBITED OBJECTS
Maniko square
The Maniko Square is a stylish and versatile piece of furniture designed to complement modern interiors. Built from powder-coated steel modules, it is both durable and minimalist. The wooden top provides the perfect space for books or plants, while the steel-top version features a hidden storage compartment for smaller items. Primarily designed as a pet bed, it can be paired with a soft, washable cushion—but its potential goes far beyond that. Need a bookshelf? Just remove the cushion! Looking for a cat climbing structure? Stack multiple units, add a scratching post, and you've got the ultimate feline playground. Thanks to a variety of color options, it can be bold and vibrant or sleek and minimalist. Additional accessories are coming soon, including a magazine holder, shelves, scratching elements, a feeding bowl stand, and a cable organizer. Whether as a nightstand, pet bed, or practical storage solution, the Maniko Square adapts to your needs.
Maniko long
The Maniko Long is a versatile and bold furniture piece crafted from powder-coated steel modules, making it a perfect fit for any home. Books can be neatly stored under its wooden or steel top, while the hidden storage compartment keeps pet toys and other small items out of sight. Designed as a cozy resting place for small to medium-sized pets, it can be complemented with a washable cushion. No longer need a pet bed? Add shelves and transform it into a storage unit! Use it as a coffee table, TV stand, or even a sideboard. Available in a variety of colors, it can be bold and vibrant or sleek and minimalist. Additional accessories are coming soon, including a magazine holder, shelves, scratching elements, a feeding bowl stand, and a cable organizer. Less unnecessary furniture replacement, more possibilities—because your furniture should evolve with you.
