MUMA Manufacturas Muñoz is recognized for its history of establishing milestones in Colombian design, ever since it innovated with its first polypropylene injected-molding chair in Colombia, over 30 years ago.
The company’s mission statement highlights the importance of innovation as part of the company’s key activities, with periodic and dynamic releases of furniture directed towards the collective and office use. At the ExpoConstrucción and ExpoDiseño 2007 trade show, we released six new product lines.
In addition to our design, which is 100% Colombian ingenuity, we incorporate imported materials to develop national products, always looking to be at the forefront of the trends defined by international design.
