Art and Design for Living
Minima is Philadelphia’s premier destination for high-design furniture, home accessories and interior solutions. Located in the city’s Old City district, Minima’s gallery showroom is curated to reflect the historic and current strides in avant-garde modern interior design. Opened in 1999, Minima’s aim is to continually introduce Philadelphians to the best in home couture
Our showroom is curated to enhance your appreciation of design. One principle we champion is how beautiful design brings materials together in perfect harmony.
Minotti’s Calder series is a wonderful example of that.
The collection features pure, uncluttered lines, and includes both console tables and a family of sideboards. The choice of elegant, luxurious materials contrasts the studied simplicity of the design. The structure is in satin-finish metal with Bronze finish. The sides and doors are available in ebony veneer with open-pore opaque lacquer finish or Mink stained sucupira veneer, while the beveled top is in Calacatta marble.
A combination of rigour and sinuosity, form and function: Yves is a seating system with a dual soul that reveals itself as an ideal synthesis of rational volumes and organic shapes, enriched by unexpected and dynamic tailored details. A project imbued with an intangible charm that transports us to the heyday of the 1970s.
A visit to our showroom in Old City is a journey through a series of meticulously crafted interior vignettes. You will find yourself immersed in diverse styles and concepts, each thoughtfully arranged to inspire and expand your horizons. The showroom experience is not just about viewing furniture and decor; it’s about discovering the stories and intricate details behind each piece, highlighting the intersection of form, function, and artistry.
Let’s take a journey of reflections.
Of all the things we surround ourselves with every day, the mirror is most closely related to our consciousness—a humble technology for understanding ourselves. Through a free–thinking, experimental process, this defining spirit of discovery is present throughout the collections and aims to bring unexpected objects and environments into people’s lives, with reflections taking center stage.
Glass has a memory—it holds onto shapes it was exposed to while still molten. Bocci 118’s dozens of tiny feather-like forms in opal glass arise from this uncanny ability. When lit from within, the interior complexities of 118 come into even sharper detail.
