IKEA was founded in Sweden in 1943.
Our story / Kave started long before it had a name or a brand.
The project emerged from a way of understanding work, relationships and commitment. It all started in a small warehouse in Sils, where mattresses were distributed to hotels along the Costa Brava. There may have been hardly any resources, but there was an unwavering commitment to doing things well, working rigorously and flexibly, with attention to detail.
Our point of view / Through objects, we build bonds between people and spaces.
In a world where constant change and speed are the order of the day, at Kave we believe that a true home is created through connection and experiences that are built bit by bit. That's why we create objects and furniture designed to accompany you throughout your life and, over time, become part of you.
Our value proposition / Here to Stay
A way of understanding the home.
A home is not built in a single day, nor does it change with every season. It is built piece by piece, with objects that will endure and experiences that we collect.
A way of designing furniture.
We build furniture designed to endure, share space and evolve with you. Far from fleeting trends, we strive for timelessness, versatility and character.
A way of being as a brand.
We want to leave our mark on spaces and on people's lives. To be present when life happens and to be a part of what will continue to endure.
A way of working together.
Being there for each other and building something together that is worth sticking around for. A relationship between people, and between people and the company, with the aim of fostering a lasting bond.
A way of seeing the world.
We are proud of our Mediterranean spirit and our roots. We aim to continue growing without losing sight of what defines us.
Our commitment / Our concept and understanding of the home is also born out of a different way of looking at the future.
MUJI was founded in 1980. Its origin was a thorough rationalization of the manufacturing process with an eye to creating simple, low-cost, good quality products. Specifically, we reexamined products through three lenses: material selection, inspection process and simplification of packaging. For instance, if you omit the bleaching process for pulp, the resulting paper is light beige in color.
MUJI used this paper for its packaging and labels. The ensuing products are remarkably pure and fresh. In notable contrast to the prevailing over-embellished products in the marketplace, MUJI's products both won great appreciation and sent shock waves not only through Japan but across the entire world.
Mujirushi Ryohin, MUJI in Japanese, translates as "no-brand quality goods."
MUJI's goal is to give customers a rational satisfaction, expressed not with,
"This is what I really want" but with "This will do." "This is what I really want" expresses both faint egoism and discord while "This will do" expresses conciliatory reasoning.
We have been credited with being "resource-saving", "low-priced", "simple", "anonymous" and "nature-oriented".
There are more than 1,000 MUJI stores around the world carrying more than 7,000 items ranging from clothing and household goods to food and even houses.
But the foundation of our ideology hasn't changed since the day we were conceived; like the compass that points due North, we continue to orient ourselves to the basis and universality of daily life.
