Few brands have mastered the pared-back appeal, the colour-free decor and the clean lines that great minimalist pieces require. Though those that have, boast an understanding of the importance of materials, the attention required to create the perfect line and balance of each piece’s form. Channelling a modern sensibility, these brands design pieces that speak for themselves, each deserving a spot in even the most strikingly minimal homes. 

Here’s our round up of the best. 

Porada

Carving canaletto walnut with such care that each piece looks almost as though it was crafted from butter, Porada have been honing their furniture making skills since 1968 and it shows. Fully embracing the beauty found in the grain of wood, this is a brand that understands how the phrase “less is more” need not imply uninspired designs. Instead, fluid lines contrast with perfectly cut glass, and fabrics don’t steal the eye away from the perfect form of each design. A warm take on minimalism, but minimalism none-the-less.

Ethnicraft

Refined, timeless and with an innately organic feel, Ethnicraft have been creating sustainable furniture for the discerning consumer for 25 years. Epitomised by their pared-back silhouettes and subtle, scandi disposition, their collections are modern heirlooms of design. Frills and fuss are not part of the brand's vocabulary, instead simplicity and craftsmanship take the forefront of their legacy. 

Empty state

Bringing contemporary minimalism to the lighting scene, Empty State has mastered architectural lighting for the home. Created by the people behind the Cameron Design House, their collections combine strong lines and orb-like glass fixtures into perfectly balanced designs. This is lighting designed to be admired but never to overwhelm the space. Use to complement your exquisitely minimalist scheme or to bring a sense of refinement to your streamlined home. 

Eichholtz

Known for their ability to create elegant pieces in a great number of aesthetics, Eichholtz’s minimalist designs are some of their best. With collections ranging from furniture to lighting and everything in between, Eichholtz has established itself as a one stop shop for the discerning tastemaker.
