Mokki Design is a lighting design and designer brand with an identity marked by a multicultural trajectory
The brand was born in 2016, by the hand of a designer for whom memories are an integral part of an imaginary originating from an Iberian heritage.
In the work of artist-designer Mónica Pinto, the sensorial universe is a constant source of inspiration, from which a truly innovative and sculptural design emerges. Each line drawn by your hands is the starting point for a unique narrative, full of meaning and expression. In your creations, passions and emotions take tangible form, translating into pieces of conceptual and architectural language.
When observing his works, we are transported to a universe where art transcends the boundaries between form and function, between the abstract and the concrete. The game between light and shadow, the meticulously sculpted details and the combination of unique materials give a unique character to each of his creations.
The multidisciplinary nature of his work allows him to explore different techniques and media., like sculpture, painting and design, that intertwine harmoniously in their compositions. Through your skilled hands and creative eye, gives life to objects that transcend mere functionality, becoming true works of art.
Born in 1977 in Galicia, in northern Spain adopts the Nickname of Mokki from your childhood. It's in Portugal and in the intricacies of the rush between drawings, Portuguese projects and factories that Mónica Pinto, together with his partner and mother, Nazaré Kahler works for the brand, betting on Art as the purest form of human experience, in which the questions, doubts and restlessness of the soul and mind become matter. Both represent a multicultural family, who lives the world of Art and Design, which led Mónica to choose a Degree in Fine Arts, Decorative Painting, Restoration, Faux-Effects and Fresco and later creating your own studio, em 1997 in Sintra.
Looking for new challenges, new ways, new concepts, and the enormous desire to tell stories means that Mokki Design never stops growing. Is at 2018 that its international launch takes place and at the London Design Fair’18, followed by more international presences, partnerships and finally international awards – no Build Architecture Awards 2020 is awarded in the Best Furniture category & Lightning Design Specialists, e no Award Design Competition 2019/2020 obtem had an honorable mention with the WOODS luminaire in the Lighting Product and Lighting Design Project category.

All this recognition is testimony to the quality and hard work that can be seen in each piece of the Mokki Design collection., designed and manufactured sustainably in Portugal where each piece is designed and studied for a long life, while much attention is paid to the provenance of materials.
Mokki Design creates for human well-being, sai do mainstream Design trends, and focuses on the cohesion of humanity and technology, and makes each line the beginning of a narrative. The use of durable quality materials and lighting technologies reflects the duo's care, Monica and Nazaré, by the parts and their function.
For both, it is the biggest challenge in terms of sustainability, “breaking the cycle of using, to spend, trash…”. The inspiration comes from observing the forest, of a contrast of lights and shadows translated into compositions that deconstruct natural dispositions, as literary excerpts transcribed in subtleties of dark writing projected, or in the interpretation of emotions transcribed through colors, strong volumes and shapes, inspired by world-renowned names in painting, as is the case of Mondrian of the Neoplasticism Movement.
Mónica Pinto is a visionary, an alchemist of forms and emotions, whose work transcends the ordinary and elevates design to the category of art. Your endless search for beauty and meaning, combined with your technical skill, places her at the level of the great masters of the contemporary artistic universe.
