Mozea creates sculptural, design-led furniture with a collectible character for contemporary residential and hospitality interiors.
Designed by Ela Șimon and handcrafted in our workshop in Cisnadioara, the collection brings together contemporary design, local craftsmanship and a deep respect for material, working primarily with solid wood, natural stone, leather and metal. Set in the Sibiu region of Transylvania, the workshop is surrounded by forests, old villages and a long tradition of making by hand. For centuries, this part of Europe was shaped by guilds, craftsmen and a quiet discipline of work. That spirit still lingers here. Mozea draws from this heritage without reproducing it, translating the weight of natural materials and the memory of the place into contemporary forms.
THE PLACE
Deep in Transylvania, Sibiu has carried a culture of making for centuries. Its first documented guilds date back to the 14th century, when craftsmen working in wood, leather, metal and ceramics shaped both the city and the villages around it. Much of that knowledge still endures here, passed quietly from one generation to the next.
THE MAKERS
Experienced craftsmen bring generations of practical knowledge in woodworking, finishing and material behaviour, while contemporary tools allow that knowledge to be pushed into new forms. Working closely between design and production, the Mozea team develops the technical solutions behind each piece, translating unconventional ideas into objects that can be built with precision, integrity and respect for the material.
THE DESIGNER
Mozea’s collection is designed by Ela Șimon, whose work explores the space between furniture and sculpture. Her approach is rooted in proportion, material and archetypal form, allowing each piece to feel both familiar and unexpected. The collection develops as a continuous study of form, balance and material presence.
THE MATERIALS
Mozea works with materials chosen for their depth, tactility and ability to age with character. Solid wood, natural stone, leather and metal are treated as expressive elements rather than surface finishes. Their variations, grain, veining and texture are embraced as part of each piece, making every object subtly distinct.
