The House
Inspired by Japanese interiors and hospitality, Modja Modja House is carefully curated to champion good design, art, and craft.
Every detail you will find, marks a point in this project's journey –symbolising friendships and commissions, acknowledging local brands, and celebrating iconic design pieces– all of which we hope will become a step in your own uncurbed exploration!
As well as welcoming guests, Modja Modja House is our family home, shared with our young child. Mornings here begin with the gentle rhythms of everyday life, adding to the warmth and character of your stay, while we remain mindful to ensure your time with us is peaceful and relaxing.
Through the dining room, hallways and bedrooms you will see origional artworks from friends of Modja Modja House, including Åbäke, Tomoko Azumi, Martin Beck, Amy Croft, Philippe Dupuy, Jutta Goessl, Rio Kobayashi, Tony Mullin and Yuri Suzuki to mention a few. Sharing the depth of thought, intrigue and joy that art and design can bring, is at the heart of what we do, so feel free to stop us and discuss.
In all our bathrooms we are proud to provide the products of local, award-winning local skincare specialist People Care. Planet Care. (formerly known as Haeckels). Additionally in every bedroom you will find handmade organic wool mattresses & beds from Naturalmat. Prioritizing sustainability, quality craftsmanship, and natural ingredients over unnecessary extravagance.
