Minimalist Coffee and Cocktail Tables

MINIMALIST STYLE

A revival in the popularity of authentic Minimalist furniture is rooted in history while reflecting the needs and tastes of the 21st century. Designer Ludwig Mies van der Rohe’s aphorism that “less is more” influenced the evolution of 20th-century interiors with an emphasis on function and order. This was a shift from the 19th century, with its lavish Victorian decorating, and was spread around the world through design styles including Bauhaus and brutalism.

Yet Minimalism was present in furniture design long before the clean lines of modernism, such as in the simple and elegant utility of Shaker furniture. Although the Minimalist art movement of the 1960s and ’70s had little crossover with furniture design, artist Donald Judd was inspired by the Shakers in creating his own spare daybeds and tables from sturdy wood. (Judd, whose advocacy of symmetry also informed his architectural projects, furnished his Manhattan loft with unassuming but poetic works by iconic modernist designers such as Gerrit Rietveld and Alvar Aalto.)

Understatement rather than ornamentation and open space instead of clutter are central themes for a Minimalist living room and bedroom. As opposed to Maximalism, the focus for Minimalist furniture and decor is on simplicity and considering the design and purpose of every object.

Furnishings are usually made in neutral or monochrome colors and pared down to their essentials — think nesting coffee tables, sectional sofas and accent pieces such as ottomans. And Minimalist ceramics can help achieve a decor that is both timeless and of the moment. The organic textures and personalization of handmade craftsmanship associated with these works have served as a sort of anti-Internet to screen-weary decorators. That said, while the thoughtful ergonomics of Scandinavian modern furniture, with its handcrafted teak frames, are at home in Minimalist spaces, so are the quietly striking pieces by Japanese designer Naoto Fukasawa that employ industrial materials like stainless steel, aluminum and plastic.

Minimalist furniture is not for making flashy statements; it boasts subdued appeal and excels at harmonizing with any room. And, as it encompasses many different movements and eras of design, it also never goes out of style, owing to its tasteful refinement.

Mirror-Polished Metal Cubist stepped TERMS Coffee Table
Located in ROTTERDAM, ZH
TERMS coffee table challenges and reimagines the typology of a coffee table. Is it still a coffee table without a top? Does it need to have legs? Can frame and surface dissolve into one structure? For this coffee table, designer Reinier de Jong touched on several sources of inspiration from brutalist architecture to minimalist art. In his work he has always displayed a fascination for geometric patterns and repetitive volumes, as well as the space between them. When configured thoughtfully, the object transcends the simple sum of its parts. The exterior of the aluminum parts is hand polished to a mirror shine to expose the inherent qualities of the material. Contrastingly, the interior is kept as is: brut and matte showing the extrusion lines of the manufacturing process. The parts are configurated in an alternating bond, stepping up on one side and cantilevering on the other. Thus, a intriguing sculpture-like coffee table is made with four different surface heights and several pockets to store items like coasters, remote controls, smartphones and magazines. TERMS coffee table comes in a limited edition of 50 pcs, each with discretely engraved numbering ('01/50', '02/50', '03/50' etc) and a Stilst logo on a non-conspicuous position. The weight of the table is 27 kg (60 lbs). It will be delivered in a wooden pallet...
