Casa San Francisco is a minimalist residence located in San Miguel de Allende, Mexico, designed by Jorge Garibay. The brief called for a retreat within a working vineyard on the edge of this colonial town in Guanajuato, and from the outset the architecture set out to hold a conversation with winemaking, both disciplines measured against the slow arithmetic of time.

Mek the Apartment is a minimalist family residence located in Amsterdam, Netherlands, designed by Margriet de Bruijn of MEK. Completed within a compressed six week renovation window, the project reads less like a sprint and more like the culmination of a decade long design philosophy, one where speed never compromises the layered intimacy that defines de Bruijn’s practice.

Eocene is a minimalist fossil and sand-cast aluminum side table created by Los Angeles-based design studio Epoche Studio. Founded by Andi Li and Fengji Li in 2025, Epoche Studio explores the relationship between time, material, and memory through collectible furniture and objects.

Walled Courtyard is a minimalist home located in London, United Kingdom, designed by Inglis Badrashi Loddo. The most consequential decision here was made before a single room was drawn: planning constraints required the practice to reinstate the historic garden wall with no external windows, so the new house had to present a blind, continuous face to the street.

Knob is a minimalist mirror created by New York-based designer Jason Miller. The collection continues his long-running investigation into the point where utility and form converge, following the earlier Knot and Bend mirrors, and it treats the mounting hardware not as a concealed necessity but as the defining architectural element.

Orion Bar Cabinet is a minimalist drinks cabinet created by Riga-based studio KANTTARI, developed in collaboration with glass artist Artis Nimanis. The cocktail cabinet has always been a furniture type built on suspense. From the lacquered bar cabinets of the Art Deco era, which folded mirror, chrome, and exotic veneer into a single theatrical gesture, to the mid-century dry bar tucked into a living-room credenza

Layup Chair is a minimalist lounge chair created by Vancouver Island-based independent designer Nathan Martell, produced in collaboration with Established & Sons. Bent plywood carries one of the longer traditions in modern furniture design – from the compound-curve experiments that Eames and Saarinen entered into MoMA’s 1941 Organic Design for Home Furnishings competition, to the production breakthroughs those experiments eventually made possible.

The Cirra Coffee Table is a minimalist coffee table created by Melbourne-based studio Sabu Studio. American Walnut gives Cirra its grounding. The material carries the weight of the table’s proportions – a low, broad profile that sits close to the floor and resists the kind of visual lightness that defines much contemporary furniture design.
