About Our Company
MUMU FurnCycle is building a smarter, more sustainable system for transitional living.
We provide furniture removal, moving, storage, cleaning, and curated second-hand furniture services designed for students, young professionals, visiting scholars, and short-term renters.
We believe moving shouldn’t mean starting from zero every time.
Traditional furniture ownership often creates unnecessary waste, high costs, and stressful logistics — especially for people living temporarily in a city. Perfectly usable furniture is discarded every day simply because existing systems are not designed for mobility and transition. MUMU exists to change that.
By combining reuse, logistics, and thoughtful design, we help people move more easily while extending the life of furniture and reducing landfill waste.
Rooted in Design. Driven by Impact.
At MUMU FurnCycle, we see furniture as part of a larger living system — not just individual objects.
We carefully curate, clean, inspect, and recirculate furniture whenever possible, while also helping customers navigate moving, storage, and short-term living more easily.
Whether it’s furnishing a first apartment, coordinating a move-out, or storing belongings between leases, our goal is to make transitional living simpler, more affordable, and more sustainable.
Because good design is not only about how spaces look — it’s also about how systems work.
Who we are
MUMU FurnCycle is a student-led, mission-driven initiative reimagining how furniture fits into short-term living.
Founded by Gloria Yu—an international student, designer, and sustainability advocate—MUMU FurnCycle was born out of personal experience with the challenges of moving in and out of furnished spaces during school. Seeing the waste and stress caused by one-year leases, limited budgets, and furniture disposal, Gloria set out to create a better, more circular system.
What started as a thesis project has grown into a passionate team of students and collaborators who believe good design and sustainability should be accessible to everyone. Together, we’re building a service that picks up pre-loved furniture, professionally refreshes it, and brings it back into circulation for others in transition. We’re committed to reducing waste, supporting our community, and making moving a little easier.
