As part of DesignPhiladelphia, we held an exhibit in collaboration with Klip Collective at the Arch Street Meetinghouse. The New Inside World: Light & Form exhibit showed many new products from our partners such as Moooi and Moooi Carpets, Porro, Living Divani, and Vitra. Studio UNPIZZO came all the way from Italy to demonstrate their special hand-weaving techniques with the Tombolo chair. The chairs can be seen in the showroom window.
Jason Ross’s accessories are like no other you’ve ever experienced, a mix of antiquity and a rough-hewn sophistication. With the formal label Artemas Quibble and the Creatures of Mme du Barry, every leather piece is handcrafted and embellished with silver, brass and antique objects, making each piece distinctively unique. Ross’s work of hand-made artistry resonates with the soulful history of the reclaimed elements. His newest collection can be found at our showroom.
In celebration of Design Philadelphia and this year's theme "Home", Minima presents a collaborative, off-site exhibition entitled NEW INSIDE WORLD: Light & Form. Located inside a designated National Historic Landmark, the Arch Street Meeting House, the exhibition explores how the cutting edge of interior design reflects, informs, and transforms our concept of the future and our lifestyle. There is no place where designed objects impact our lives greater, than in the home. This intimate relationship with products reveals much about our needs, our values, our desires, and our ambition.

GTV, also known as Gebruder Thonet Vienna, is the original bent wood and cane chair company. No longer located in Vienna, the operations are now based across the border in Turin, Italy. While still producing the classics, GTV is bringing bent wood and cane into the contemporary landscape by working with such celebrated designers as Gam Fratesi, Nendo, Martino Gamper, and Vico Magistretti just to name a few. The Targa collection, shown above, is a wonderful example of this innovative use of classic materials by visionary designers.

The photoshoot for the new pieces by Luca Nichetto was held at a very special location, Casa da Escrita in Coimbra, Portugal. Formerly known as Casa do Arco, the residence of the late poet João Cochofel, Casa da Escrita was refurbished in 2010 by architect João Mendes Ribeiro, and repurposed as a space for writing events and a temporary residence for practicing writers. The refurbishment was sensitive to the historic features of the building, preserving elements such as decorative ceilings and corniced walls, while simplifying the living spaces, adding flexibility, and bringing a warm, functional modernity.
