born on the road

Muvo wasn’t created in a studio. It was built across countless
moves, packed cars, and through the process of starting over again.

Some people spend their whole lives in one place.

I’ve lived mine in motion.

Hi, I’m Lara, founder of Muvo.

This company wasn’t born in a boardroom. It came from the ground up—from cramped apartments, rental trucks, cross-country drives, and every messy, exhilarating chapter change that forced me to recreate my life from scratch.

I’ve moved more times than I can count—New Hampshire, Santa Cruz, Boston, San Francisco, Salt Lake City, Park City, Syracuse… and the list keeps growing. With every move came the same frustration: furniture isn't made for people who move a lot. And moving is hard enough as it is.

We're not just "relocating." We're shifting into new versions of ourselves.

We’re not just “relocating.” We’re shifting into new versions of ourselves.

I designed Muvo in the aftermath of those moves—on the floor of my bedroom surrounded by prototypes and measuring tape, experimenting with ideas for something smarter, sturdier, and more adaptable. I was solving my own problem and learning from every move.

Muvo came from real life. From grit. From heart. From choosing the harder path because it led somewhere more authentic.

Muvo is for the movers.

It's for the ones who listen to their inner compass even when it points somewhere unfamiliar.

It's for the people who say yes to the next chapter even when fear tries to talk them out of it.

Muvo is about the promise of a new beginning—a clean slate, a fresh start, the quiet thrill of possibility when everything you own is packed and the road is calling.

It’s for people who refuse to be boxed in, people who explore unconventional paths, who make choices from a place deep inside that doesn’t always need explanation. For people who don’t settle—for careers, for relationships, for the life everyone else tells them should be “good enough.”

Often this kind of life means a tougher road—of adventure, trial and error, getting knocked down, getting back up, and learning more about who you are every time that you do.

Muvo is for those who keep going anyway.

Muvo is dedicated to the pioneers who came before us and the innovators shaping the world today—the ones who still believe in change, optimism, and making the world a better place. It's for the people who take responsibility, help others, and know that progress starts with one brave move.

Movement is connected—physical, mental, emotional. When you move your space, you move your mind. When you change your environment, you unlock new ways of thinking. As Einstein once said, “We cannot solve our problems with the same thinking we used when we created them.”

Muvo is for the journey—yours, mine, and all the uncharted ones ahead.

Keep moving.
