Clean forms and primary colours from Italian family-owned production house
March 19th, 2013
Miniforms is a family-owned company founded in Italy in the early ’70s. It was the natural evolution of what had formerly been a production house for small tables and furnishing accessories since 1962.
The evolution to Miniforms included expanding their production to include chairs, tables and bookcases – and, eventually, bringing them to an international market.
Now, Miniforms is in its second generation – passed from father to three sons Alessandro, Matteo and Mario.
The sons are investing in avant garde production, working with talented young Italian designers and also collaborating with design talent internationally.
The style of the company has remained true to its philosophy of high quality products made from solid wood, sheet steel, glass and aluminum.
Aesthetically they are dedicated to exploring clean forms and primary colours. Available on the Australian East Coast exclusively from Cafe Culture.
