Mufti Michael D'souza Mufti is about 'casual elegance', a relaxed but sophisticated approach to life. With Michael D'Souza's style retaining key elements of minimalism - excellent design, clean lines, and an emphasis on interesting textures; the 'mufti' look has an edge, an apparently effortless style that makes it less inspirational and more livable. It's hip and funky whilst remaining very chic.

Today Mufti evokes this relaxed but sophisticated lifestyle with a combination of original designs exceptional craftsmanship and natural raw materials. Each piece of furniture Michael designs represents the mufti style - smart, casual and comfortable, and has been created to make the home a sanctuary in this increasingly chaotic and fast moving world. It's a very liveable style.

Michael recognises that it is the little details that add the finishing touches to a home. As with everything created at Mufti, their accessories are made by hand using the most sumptuous natural raw materials. Besides being good for the environment it keeps alive many of the traditional crafts that are quickly dying as machines are replacing people the bespoke service.
