The Extinct Animals Collections
The Museum of Extinct Animals served as the main inspiration for three Extinct Animals Collections: Extinct Animals Fabrics, Extinct Animals Wallcoverings, and Extinct Animals Carpets.
Extinct Animals Fabrics
The Extinct Animal Fabrics are the ultimate high-end collection of numerous fabrics and leathers. They bring a touch of luxury, softness and a splash of natural beauty to upholstered designs from the Moooi collection.
The Extinct Animal Fabrics are a force of nature to be reckoned with! Their organic structures, extreme softness or roughness, their landscapes and geometric patterns are reminders of the wonders of nature. They embody not only the extinct animals’ looks & textures but also their tactual feel. An assortment of high-quality materials serves this purpose. They range from high pile cotton velvet to jacquards; from treated leathers to mohair and fluffy fur.
The Extinct Animal Wallcovering collection broadens Moooi’s design horizons by adding a new vertical dimension. Within the Extinct Animal Wallcovering collection, each pattern is inspired by the characteristics of one animal. Striking combinations of colours, features and patterns of its fur, plumage or skin bring it vividly back to life on our walls. Some designs narrate a story; others stimulate our senses through the use of imagery and textures.

Where it all began
Since the dawn of human civilization curiosity and a great sense of adventure have tempted explorers to undertake risky adventures in search of the unknown. New worlds were waiting to be discovered by those who persevered and survived the dangers along the way.
Some adventurers set out with a purpose: they would seek a golden treasure to change their destiny, the fountain of youth to live forever. They chased their dream with youthful dedication, possessed by a great desire for adventure, seeking a life of excitement. What they actually discovered were much greater treasures for humanity: fish that could fly, amazing-looking birds that sang like angels and underwater creatures glowing in the dark!
If safely returned to what they called civilization, they reported of remarkable new worlds and the rich beauty of exotic, diverse and extraordinary animals. Even though most of these animals were never seen again, the variety and diversity of nature exceeded imagination and puzzled even the most sceptical.
