Featured Project: The Laurel Minima and The Laurel collaborate once again on another model apartment. Modern Luxury Interiors magazine’s feature article shows the sophisticated haven that is unit 2903. “Our goal is always to create something beautiful that initially seduces upon first meeting and then creates enduring emotions for many years to come.” - Michael Schmick, co-owner of Minima.

Supermoon Seating System Design by Giampiero Tagliaferri Sculptural and original forms with a distinct 1970s style give life to a design project in which elegance, formal innovation and maximum comfort coexist. The design of the backrests and armrests, poetically evocative of a lunar phase, becomes the stylistic leitmotif of the system: their shapes, together with the seat cushions and marble or wood tops, are accommodated and partially concealed in the upholstered base that rests on the floating metal frame. Supermoon was created as a standalone nomadic piece, yet one that is capable of multiplying and evolving to become a true modular system: a furniture that, thanks to its plastic lines and distinct personality, enjoys a life of its own as a monolithic living room element, but is also able of developing into flexible configurations. When placed side by side, the modules stand out more as an aggregation of individual elements than as a distinct system: they are joined by brushing against each other, creating a double flaring at the base that, with a decorative geometry, highlights the boundaries of each element. In addition to end and central elements, sofas and chaise-longues, there are also occasional coffee tables, benches and an original armchair with a lacquered base able to characterize spaces with a strong identity. Supermoon’s compositional freedom also underlines its aesthetic self-determination, expressing an unseen, yet consistent, formal language. #interiordesign #luxuryinteriors #minottifurniture #contemporaryfurniture #architecture

Pyrite Light Collection Designers of this collection, DECHEM Studio, were fascinated by the beauty of mineral formations. Thus this collection was inspired by pyrite, the golden fire-stone in the shape of a perfect cube, while the silver version of the shade reflects its inspiration in salt crystals. The sculptural structures of minerals and their perfectly smooth surfaces are among the most precious treasures from the very core of the Earth, only revealing their optical magic once they encounter a source of light. Available to see in person on our showroom in Old City Philadelphia 🧊

The genesis of Serenissimo revisits the craft of Encaustic art, or Venetian stucco — a fine sand plaster applied by spatula, with colors inspired by 18th-century painter Francesco Guardi, then heated and fused. Precisely delineated, Serenissimo becomes a graphic composition: four columns and a linear steel girder float the tabletop above. In the spirit of Lella and Massimo Vignelli’s original design, geometry and materials speak through elemental forms, soft Venetian tones, refined metal finishes, and a wide glass surface — achieving a harmonious balance of monumental proportions. The table is available to experience in person at our showroom in Old City.

A playful and spirited pillar of drawers, the Storet chest of drawers epitomises the visionary touch of Nanda Vigo designs. In both its elongated vertical edition, and in the nightstand version, the Storet reflects today’s advances in production, with the walnut’s visible grain illuminating Acerbis’s modern expertise in utilizing extensive wood surfaces. Made of black ash, dark-stained walnut, or in the matt lacquered version, Storet’s vertical structure is paired with glossy lacquered drawers, available in the iconic Acerbis palette and enriched by Fluo Green: a tribute to Nanda Vigo’s installations, where light and fluorescent colors redefined the perception of space, transforming it into a sensory and dynamic experience. Minima is open Tuesday-Saturday | 11am-6pm #interiordesign #luxuryinteriors #minottifurniture #contemporaryfurniture #architecture

Drape Composition 2 The glass shapes of the Drape Composition 2 Pendant are formed by hand, allowing them to be slightly imperfect to express their handmade origins. The “dipped” glass options feature an irregular, open mouth, created by double-dipping the piece into the molten glass crucible, followed by breaking the piece from the pipe and fire-polishing the opening – a purposeful expression of craft and the act of glassblowing. The “textured” glass diffusers have no opening. Their surface is frosted and features a subtle pattern of lines etched into the glass for a moody and classic look. Minima is open Tuesday-Saturday | 11am-6pm #interiordesign #luxuryinteriors #minottifurniture #contemporaryfurniture #architecture
