First Furniture Brand in Mars in 2026 with NASA

Mainguilty was born from the bold vision of transforming furniture into a form of art, where each piece balances functionality with an artistic and provocative character. Founded during the pandemic, the brand emerges as a response to the introspection of that period, revealing themes of duality and contrasts. The concept of guilt and innocence—explored in bold and delicate forms—reflects an introspective view of design, celebrating human complexity through furniture that is more than just objects; they are living artworks.

Family Legacy

With the slogan The Artistic Heritage, Mainguilty honors the artistic roots of its founder, Carlos Mello, who grew up under the influence of his father, the renowned sculptor J. Carlos. This sculptural heritage, imbued with meaning and emotion, permeates every creation of Mainguilty, which stands out by challenging the boundaries between art and design. Inspired by the ambiguity of human nature, the brand's pieces are created to engage with space, conveying a visual and emotional narrative where the innocent and the provocative uniquely coexist.

Innovation and Tradition: Mainguilty at the Forefront of Design

Mainguilty embodies the fusion of the artisanal and the technological, combining techniques passed down through generations with cutting-edge technologies. Each piece is sculpted by hand with creative freedom and then enhanced with technological precision through CNC, 3D printing, and blockchain. This careful balance between tradition and innovation results in furniture with a complex and contemporary aesthetic, redefining design as a vibrant and living art form.

On Earth and Mars

Since its launch, Mainguilty has captured global attention at major design fairs such as Milan, Paris, and Dubai, solidifying its presence in the most demanding markets. The brand has transcended boundaries by undertaking interior design projects in iconic locations, including the palace of the royal family in Dubai, establishing itself as a symbol of irreverence and sophistication. In 2026, with a visionary project for interplanetary expansion, Mainguilty will be the first furniture brand to embark on a journey to Mars in partnership with NASA, taking its concept beyond earthly borders.

We Are Arriving Mars

For MainGUILTY nothing is impossible, and our passion for challenges always leads us to set our eyes on the future. With a trip scheduled to Mars, in July 2026, MainGUILTY will become the first furniture brand in space exploration.

Guilty Fragrances: The Aromatic Duality of Mainguilty

In 2024, Mainguilty opened a new chapter with the launch of Guilty Fragrances, a line that translates its identity into olfactory and ceramic forms. The fragrance evokes a sensory duality, where light and intense notes blend to create an immersive and sophisticated experience. The line, designed to complement the exclusivity of the furniture pieces, allows customers to carry a piece of Mainguilty's essence with them, translating the brand's luxury and depth into an engaging and enigmatic sensory dimension.
