Mobile Seat-Storage Units

NEXT Mobile Unit Blends Seating and Storage in a Single Flexible Form

The NEXT mobile unit by Müller seamlessly integrates seating and storage into a minimalist, movable design. As a low-profile bench, it offers casual seating for two or more, while a deep cavity beneath provides hidden storage for items like blankets, books, or accessories. Mounted on discreet casters, the unit glides effortlessly between living spaces, encouraging adaptable arrangements in contemporary homes. The exterior features clean lines and refined craftsmanship, with wooden panels available in light oak or walnut finishes that highlight the material’s natural warmth and grain.

Designed to respond to modern living, NEXT caters to small spaces where flexibility is key. Whether positioned in a hallway, lounge, or bedroom, it functions as a bench, console, or side table—reflecting a multipurpose ethos. The hidden storage keeps clutter out of sight yet within easy reach, while the wheels add mobility without compromising aesthetics. By combining function and form, the NEXT mobile unit exemplifies how furniture can support evolving lifestyles with subtle sophistication and thoughtful design.
