Endless possibilities, that is what the Container family offers. This Moooi Original by Marcel Wanders offers endless configurations to create a solid and architectural base for your interior. The foundation to design your home, your space around.

Innovative and still unique today

Original, innovative and the first of its kind since its launch almost twenty years ago, the Container family, by Marcel Wanders, is still today a unique concept in interior design. A family of lightweight designs, making it easy to move. But when you add sand or pebbles to the Container Table feet and Bar Stools, it’s all strength and stability. The innovative foundation of your home.

The Container Table splits up its identity and functionality into two parts: top and foot. A horizontal piece in different shapes, sizes and materials. The part of the table you touch and live from. The foot is the solid base of the design. The cone-shaped stools or ornamental New Antique stools match the tables perfectly, but thanks to its timeless silhouette, the Container Table goes with any chair or bar stool in the Moooi collection.

It all began in 2003

The first Container Table designs were introduced in 2003. Its fundamental architectural shape, a cone, redefined modern timelessness and cleverness. The Container Table Classic is made heavy and stable with filling it up, but it’s very lightweight when shipped, and its material making it suitable for both indoor and outdoor use.

A year later, in 2004

In 2004, the strong and sleek shape of the Container Table Classic was joined by the Container Table New Antiques and Stools. This family expansion features a curved ornamental base. In 2012, the Container Bar Stool was added to the ever-growing family.

Adding a natural touch

Bodhi is the most recent expansion of the family: a wooden wrap for the Container Table’s foot. Container Table Bodhi keeps the original design’s qualities, strength and stability, but has a completely different look. It adds softness and a natural feeling because the wrap is made of oak.

The versatile and humble servant

No design in the Moooi collection is more versatile than the Container Table. The feet have different heights, finishes, shapes, and colours. The tabletops have different shapes, sizes, materials and colours. All options are interchangeable. This means endless possibilities to match any space, interior, and personal style. The Container family is the humble servant in a well-designed interior.

About The Designer

Marcel Wanders is a leading product and interior designer. Regarded by many as an anomaly in the design world, Marcel Wanders has made his mission to “create an environment of love, live with passion and make our most exciting dreams come true.” The work excites, provokes, and polarises, but never fails to surprise for its ingenuity, daring and singular quest to uplift the human spirit, and entertain.

Marcel Wanders’ chief concern is to bring the human touch back to design, ushering in a ‘new age of design’, in which designer, craftsperson and user are reunited. In this process, he defies design dogma, preferring instead to focus on holistic solutions rather than the technocratic. In this universe, the coldness of industrialism is replaced instead by the poetry, fantasy and romance of different ages, vividly brought to life in the contemporary moment.

The Button

The Container family comes with The Button, Moooi’s digital proof of authenticity. The Button contains an NFC chip that makes counterfeiting impossible and makes certain it’s an original Moooi design.
