Mobles 114 editions specialises in producing contemporary furniture and fittings and is based in Barcelona. The m114 brand, founded in 1973, is committed to improving the quality of public places and homes with unique, timeless designs. Tradition and modernity come together in the different brochures published by Mobles 114 in the world of contemporary design. We foster creativity and design in interiors and architecture via five brochures with a wide range of products that, as a whole, give shape to a common aesthetic proposal identified by the Mobles 114 brand. Our products are published after due consideration and comprehension of what each proposal specifically requires; that's why we place our trust in designers to publish items of furniture that go beyond the creative process and investigate material development, that go beyond their role and become a solution, always serving the demands of quality and practicality and with the aim of anticipating user needs. Our items of furniture are created by internationally renowned designers, comprising a coherent, solid catalogue. In their production we're committed to innovation and technology, to choosing long-lasting materials and industrialisation techniques while paying great respect to the creative process, aesthetics and practicality, and all achieved within a model of sustainable consumption. Since it was first set up, Mobles 114 has witnessed changes in society and culture and has offered its own view to the world of design, harmonising humanistic values with its own approach and language. It is precisely because of this contribution and dedication in creating the product catalogue that Mobles 114 has been awarded a large number of prizes throughout its history, such as the National Design Award in 2001 (Spain).
