MerryPonder is a modular furniture braHnd offering products such as easily movable TV cabinets and lights that can be rotated and moved from side-to-side, allowing for the flexible use of space. KIM Sungyoon and Jeon Hayoung, the company’s co-CEOs, share a vision for “the joy of space utilization.” They emphasize that their focus is on enabling people to use space in a way that suits them, rather than forcing people to conform to the existing space.

KIM Sungyoon and JEON Hayoung emphasized, “Well-designed spaces and products can greatly enrich one’s life.” They believe that by addressing even the smallest inconveniences people encounter in their environments, overall enjoyment can be enhanced. MerryPonder plans to closely examine the joyful experiences in people’s lives and create furniture inspired by these detailed observations.

The product MerryPonder will showcase at Maison&Objet is the MFS (Mobile Furniture System). This modular furniture system allows customers to choose and combine components such as TV cabinets, whiteboards, bookshelves, and storage units according to their preferences and needs. Designed for flexibility, the system can be reconfigured based on the space’s users, its intended purpose, or the time of day. It features low-profile casters for easy and smooth movement, making it adaptable to various settings.

Once lighting and furniture are positioned, changing their location can be challenging and may lead to damage or hassle. The MFS stands out because it allows for easy rearrangement of furniture without the need for construction. This flexibility lets users adjust the space’s ambiance and functionality effortlessly, adapting to their needs at any time.

This is MerryPonder’s debut at Maison&Objet. KIM Sungyoon and JEON Hayoung expressed their anticipation, stating, “We hope that this participation will bring together diverse lifestyles from around the world with MerryPonder products, creating new and exciting experiences.”

MerryPonder’s mission is to continually offer furniture that reflects deep thoughtfulness and warmth toward people and the world. KIM Sungyoon and JEON Hayoung explained, “In a world full of diversity, thoughtful consideration is the best way to create joy and connect with others. Furniture is made for people, and at MerryPonder, we strive to keep thoughtful consideration at the heart of our design process.”
