Referencing five kind and loving extinct animals, the collection is made up of six different wallcoverings, all made from equally original and unexpected materials. Memento Moooi is the third wall covering collection by Moooi in collaboration with Arte, and is scheduled for spring 2022. The collection reminds us to cherish each moment, make amazing memories, and celebrate life for as long as it lasts.

The collection comes in a range of different colours and is made with a variety of unusual materials: wood veneer, sisal, gold foil, pleated paper, and textile. Some designs in the collection narrate a story, and others stimulate your senses with imagery and textures. The result? Striking tactile designs that make an impact and breathe life and kindness into your home. The Memento Moooi collection is inspired by the sharing Mimic Moth, loving Dandelion Cranes, social Golden Tiger, fearless Pogo Goats, and peaceful Queen Cobras. A medley of extinct animals that lived and loved like there would be no tomorrow.

The Mimic Moth Wallcovering is a 3D wallcovering with a soft suede look, inspired by the Mimic Moth’s shape and habitat. The wallcovering’s design comprises embossed Mimic Moths surrounded by its favourite flowers.
The Queen Cobra Wallcovering is made from hand-woven sisal fibres, inspired by the Queen Cobra’s rhythmic curves and grassy habitat. The design comprises round overlapping shapes in a pattern with a hypnotic feel to it.

The Dandelion Cranes Wallcovering is made from pleated textile, inspired by the Cranes’ unique colouring and fanlike wings. The tactile design comprises overlapping textile pleats placed in a pattern that resembles feathered fans.
The Golden Tiger Wallcovering is made from laser cut wood veneer with gold foil. Golden Tigers couldn’t bear to be parted from their loved ones, so the wallcovering depicts this friendly extinct animal surrounded by his animal friends.

The Pogo Goat Wallcovering is a 3D wallcovering with a soft chenille fabric, inspired by the goat’s yearly migration. The intricate pattern has us guessing how ambitious the choreography of the dancing Pogo Goats really was.
And finally, the Memento Moooi Medley Wallcovering is a gathering of extinct animals known for their unique kindness and love for life. Each animal knew how to cherish each moment of their lives and lived to make beautiful memories. Depicted amidst the softest of fluffy clouds, they continue their celebration of life. Or is it the afterlife? The Memento Moooi Medley is digitally printed on soft touch textile.
