PHILIPPI : Muro

Reindeer S

Smaller stature, rather impressive antlers

The PHILIPPI MURO Reindeer S takes a refreshingly relaxed approach to Christmas: no red coat, no bow, not even a bell. Instead, this 20 cm festive figure relies on a slender sculptural silhouette, deep black colour and a striking set of curved antlers. Made from resin, the small MURO Reindeer measures 12 cm long and just 5 cm wide. At approximately 0.25 kg, it is easy to position wherever Christmas decoration should add atmosphere rather than occupy the entire surface. On a dining table, between candles on a sideboard, on a shelf or windowsill, the black PHILIPPI Reindeer feels like a small design object with a distinctly wintry side. Its abstract form deliberately leaves naturalistic details behind, allowing line and proportion to define its character. The result is unmistakably festive while remaining pleasantly removed from traditional Christmas folklore.

Twenty centimetres can change quite a lot

It is precisely MURO S's compact size that makes it so versatile. On a festive table, the reindeer can sit between glasses, candles and fir branches without blocking the view across dinner. On a console or shelf, its black finish brings a calm graphic note to glossy baubles and illuminated decorations. Pale wood, clear glass and warm metallic tones provide particularly attractive contrasts. For a more pared-back Christmas setting, simply place the PHILIPPI Reindeer beside a lantern or a few winter branches. It becomes even more expressive alongside the larger MURO Reindeer L. Combining the different heights creates a small reindeer scene that feels playful without becoming overly cute, allowing the collection to be arranged differently from one Christmas to the next.

A reindeer with an eye for clean lines

PHILIPPI is an owner-managed design company headquartered in Henstedt-Ulzburg near Hamburg, creating home accessories alongside gift, travel and office pieces with a recognisable design language. The brand has an international presence and, according to PHILIPPI, its products can be found at renowned retailers including Harrods, Takashimaya and KaDeWe. Its work is characterised by clear forms and thoughtful details that give familiar objects an individual identity. MURO brings that approach into the festive season. Body, legs and antlers are reduced to expressive contours, while the deep black colour keeps the figure visually calm. It is exactly the kind of Christmas decoration we enjoy at LIVOSY: an object that creates atmosphere, works naturally with personal favourites and does not need to shout about the season to belong there.

Together, they tell a little winter story

MURO S works beautifully on its own, but pairing it with the 33 cm MURO Reindeer L creates an appealing play of scale and perspective. Arrange the two black reindeer together on a sideboard, or combine them with lanterns, baubles, fir branches and other PHILIPPI Christmas accessories for a contemporary winter scene. The smaller version also works particularly well along a longer dining table, where it introduces a graphic accent without taking up valuable space. Beyond a traditional festive arrangement, MURO's pared-back silhouette sits surprisingly naturally among books, picture frames and other home accessories. At 20 cm high, the PHILIPPI Reindeer S is compact enough for spontaneous decorating ideas while retaining enough character to hold its own. And should there be room for the larger reindeer too, a little company suits it rather well.
