Dutch lifestyle brand Moooi has collaborated with Italian tile company ABK Group to launch its first ceramic surfaces collection–the Nesting Room.
The brand had a sneak peek during Salone del Mobile in Milan, but it officially launched the collection during the Cersaie tile show in Bologna.
Cersaie 2025 was chosen as the ideal venue for the official launch of Moooi Ceramic Surfaces, the company says. The complete collection was presented by Moooi’s founder and creative director Marcel Wanders.

In Moooi’s view, the collection 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, the brand says. “Faithful to the creative process for which Moooi is known, the collection draws inspiration from organic animal forms, including extinct species,” the company says. “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 Nesting Room was an exclusive space designed by Moooi and hosted within the ABK Group stand. It consisted of a sequence of three rooms centered around the themes of wellness, meditation and a sense of protection and warmth. This multisensory installation transformed the exhibition space into a restorative haven, inviting visitors to explore the relationship between design and nature. It was also outfitted with Moooi lighting and furniture designs.

“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,” Wanders says. “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.”
Known for its very popular Random Light II, Moooi was founded by Wanders and Casper Vissers (who is no longer with the brand). Moooi is named after the Dutch word for beautiful – Mooi. The third ‘O’ in the brand name stands for an extra value in terms of beauty and uniqueness.
