Founded by Stephan Weishaupt, Man of Parts offers household and lifestyle items to curate a way of living rather than a singular aesthetic. The brand's designs are often modeled after locations around the world. Weishaupt's goal is to embody the traveler interested in unique finds through his home furnishings company.
The brand's founder collaborated with like-minded designers to create an open-minded concept to accomplish the desired theme. Man of Parts' collection includes items such as the Via del Corso lounge chair, which takes inspiration from the Piazza Venezia in Rome. Available in a variety of colors, the chair boasts a three-sided roundabout cushion. The range also includes the Corrd Chair, which upcycles parachute cord leftover from WWII as a base.
