The Nesting Room Ceramic Surfaces Debut from Moooi

— January 26, 2026 — Art & Design
The Nesting Room ceramic surfaces collection marks Dutch brand Moooi’s first extension into architectural tiling, developed with Italian manufacturer ABK Group to translate the label’s imaginative design language into full-body porcelain stoneware for walls and floors. The collection introduces three motifs: Hypnotic Owl, Reiki Rhea and Cloistered Dove — inspired by animal forms, each rendered with refined patterns and earthy palettes designed to bring calm texture to residential and hospitality interiors.

Surfaces are offered in four formats, enabling combinations of decorative and neutral slabs that create layered spatial narratives. The Nesting Room made its official presentation at Cersaie 2025 in Bologna within an immersive installation framed by Moooi lighting and furnishings, which underscored themes of wellness, meditation and sanctuary.
