Minima

Modern living with contemporary styles for your home.

  • Modern Furniture
  • Contemporary Accessories
  • Featured on MTV's Real World

The contemporary furniture collection at Minima is based on a balanced philosophy of form and function. The aesthetic of simplicity is found in the Minima collection and is visually comforting and non-distracting. What at first seems a rather austere aesthetic choice becomes a much richer and more sensuous experience in everyday use.

Simple shapes and lines reveal the subtly beautiful details created by the world's leading furniture designers. The use of sumptuous wools, felts, leather and modern synthetics are combined in ways that arouse the sense of touch and create a comforting place to return to day-after-day.

The intelligent use of materials combined with inspired design creates objects for living that can last a lifetime.

Editorial Review for Minima – by Frances Nguyen

The Scene
The sleek and spare all-white interior of this Old City shop might be a tad intimidating, but steel yourself and enter this brave new world, where the severe-looking furniture often reveals itself to have a fun-loving heart.

The Goods
Not for devotees of shabby chic, the furniture for sale here is, as the name implies, of a minimalist bent, with nary a ruffle or curlicue in sight. Standouts are, no surprise, often of Italian lineage. Look for makers such as Cappellini, Frighetto and Desalto. And bring your platinum credit card--this unadorned look doesn't come cheap. Bargain hunters may find some respite in the somewhat lower-priced Minneapolis-based Blu Dot line.

Phillipe Starck's "la marie" chair a little out of the budget? Pick up a Barbie-sized rendition from the shop's selection.
