The pristine, all-white landscape of a winter wonderland is the perfect backdrop for this eye-catching red-exterior tiny house. As soon as you see the Mallow II, its vibrant facade and elegant silhouette will be impossible to forget. Inside, the magic of winter is further mimicked by the pristine Scandinavian-style design with a high level of efficiency.
Those who love the cold season and spending time outdoors in places like a mysterious cabin in the woods will surely fall in love with the Mallow II. Mobi is known for its brightly colored mobile homes that are named after wild flowers and plants. In fact, this unique feature makes them instantly recognizable: if you see a brightly colored tiny house that looks like a traditional cabin, it is likely a Mobi creation.
The Mallow II is one of the most beautiful red houses designed by Mobi. Inside, bright white and light-toned natural wood take center stage, while red and black are strategically used as accents to add visual interest and create a powerful contrast with a fresh, modern feel.

One of Europe’s pioneers in the still young tiny living sector, Mobi has drawn inspiration from Scandinavian minimalism and has continued to deliver simple, space-saving designs that focus on functionality. Even the wood used for the upholstery is primarily imported Scandinavian fir, adding to the authentic Nordic style of these little gems. Each Mobi creation is a variation of one of the brand’s tried-and-tested platforms, resulting in an unparalleled variety of color schemes without straying from the basic Mobi layouts.
One of these popular platforms is the Mobi 02 with a single loft, a two-in-one living room at one end and an open concept kitchen at the other end (plus bathroom). It comes on a six-meter (19.6 ft) long trailer, fully equipped with all basic kitchen and bathroom appliances and ready for a year-long stay.
The Mallow II is a stunning take on the Mobi 02 design, adorned with a striking fire red exterior and red accents inside. It’s not a design for lovers of neutral palettes and those who prefer their home to blend in with its surroundings rather than stand out. The Mallow II is a bold home designed to turn heads, and its sleek interior with a stylish color scheme (white, red, and black) makes it ideal for weekend getaways and glamping guests.

A solid and elegant staircase is one of the main features of Mallow and is at the heart of its elegant and functional layout. It connects the loft to the ground floor and also serves as a large storage unit with built-in cupboards. The wide steps and wall-mounted handrail, unlike a basic staircase, make access to the bedroom easy and safe for people of all ages. The only drawback is that it takes up a lot of floor space.
Due to limited floor space, the Mallow Tiny doesn’t include a traditional dining area. Instead, it uses modular, multifunctional furniture to increase functionality. A fold-out table that seems to blend into the white wall behind it transforms into a convenient TV stand when folded. The versatile is also used for multiple purposes: seating, storage, and sleeping. During the day, it offers cozy seating with great views thanks to two large windows; at night, it transforms into an extra bed for overnight guests.
The master bedroom is located upstairs in the loft area. The carpeted floor instantly makes it feel more luxurious, as does the beautifully crafted perforated protective wall. This wooden wall adds security without blocking the view and also serves as a decorative element that enhances the overall style. Two large windows on each side keep the area bright and well ventilated. The white overlapping plank ceiling and walls also contribute to the cozy and traditional atmosphere of Mallow with a Nordic touch.

In a small space, every single element must be carefully chosen to maximize both efficiency and style. That's why the bathroom door also has a decorative function as the main red accent inside the house, in line with the beautiful exterior. The abundance of white makes the bathroom seem larger and more elegant, highlighting the modern shower stall. Storage space is available in the form of a classic wooden cabinet and an open cabinet on the wall.
The kitchen is equipped with an induction hob, a stove and an electric fridge. The wooden countertop offers ample space for preparing meals, while classic built-in cabinets and ladder units keep the area tidy. Right next to the main entrance, an ingenious cabinet combines a coat rack with a shoe rack, another small detail with a big impact.
Electric radiators and an underfloor heating system keep things toasty when the weather turns cold, making this cabin-like tiny home even more cozy. In addition to full mobility, the Mallow has also been given self-sufficiency via a solar pack. All Mobi tiny homes come with this off-grid option for those who want to take the next step towards greater freedom.

Despite the incredible versatility of tiny house design, Scandinavian minimalism continues to be one of the most popular choices and blends perfectly with the concept of tiny living. Although not built in Sweden or Norway, the Mallow II is a delightful homage to Nordic tradition and a dream home for winter lovers.
