De Castelli is a high end Italian brand that works with iron and stainless steel to produce elegant, modern, and sophisticated pieces. With a history dating back to the early 19th century, this family-run business finds its inspiration in a long line of blacksmiths and metalworkers. This adherence to tradition is combined with the latest manufacturing and design technology. The above pictured Riviera table is a beautiful landscape of rolling hills and trees that lives on your dining room table. The minimalist simplicity is refreshing and zen-like, and will create an aura of calm over the meals that are eaten in the valleys and clearings.

Amadi Carpets offers a playful and contemporary collection of carpets for your home. This family-run business offers three collections, the Amadi Collection, Amadi Modern, and Antique Carpets, with dozens of carpets in each. Their carpets have won many industry awards and all feature hand-woven craftmanship that is inspired by some of the world’s most renowned areas for carpet artisans. The attention to detail and high quality materials make the Amadi carpets instant modern classics. The above pictured Lily carpet is part of the modern series, and features a slender lily pattern repeated to produce a smooth, modern flourish.

Interesting Particulars combines form, function and imagination. Their pieces are designed to inspire the thoughts of those around them by using illusions and oddities, making the observer an active participant in the furniture. The team claims to be inspired by inventors, surgeons and gypsies, and this varied influence shows in their quirky pieces. The above pictured Sacred Science Scone is a cool, intelligent piece that combines spirituality with laboratory-grade blown glass to produce a calm hybrid. The below pictured Functional Mora Clock is a replica sticker of a traditional mora clock. It stands over 6 feet tall, and features a working clock face to add a bold statement to any room.

Clab4design creates furniture with a purpose. Each piece is unique and adds a new dimension to the home it is incorporated into. They focus on individuals and their surroundings, and work within the new “glocal” mindset – creating globally appealing designs using local materials and production. The above pictured rubik cube bookcase features a large storage space encased in a rubiks cube-inspired casing. And the below pictured bookcase has perfected simplicity. It is designed for those who are constantly on the move, as its simple, wood-only design can be taken apart and put back together in a matter of minutes.

Combining form, color and texture in a playful way is the main goal of furniture designer Elisa Werbler. Her pieces are fun and whimsical, and feature attention to detail that is refreshing in the too often bland minimalism of cookie cutter designs. She brings together art and design without pretension. The above pictured Pour tea cup is part of a set that uses molded liquid plastic, dripped over a mold, using several layers and alternating matte and glossy textures for intrigue. The below pictured chair uses contrasts between the white “handle” – with its sharp edges and shiny lacquer – and the softer grey seat itself that inspires a tactile sensation.

Ivan Arnaudov is a young designer on the scene, but he is already making a large impact. His industrial- and minimalist-inspired designs come from a thirst for creative outlets as well as a desire to produce items that are environmentally-friendly. The above pictured um22 modular furniture set illustrates the imagination and lack of boundaries that feature prominently in Arnaudov’s work. It features a single trapezoid shape with one large cutout on the side, one on the bottom, and a smaller one on the third side. These pieces can be mixed and matched together in a variety of ways to create coffee tables, chairs, benches and more.

The two person creative team behind esprimodesign creates minimalistic products without the restrictions of a factory setting. They say that this allows them to truly explore their imaginations and continually innovate using materials and forms that appeal to the senses. Their products are all manufactured in Italy by fine Italian craftsmen, and they use low-emission and low-impact processes to minimize the effects on the environment. The above pictured Swan stool uses a single piece of bent, high-gloss white finished wood to produce a smoothly flowing form. It is available in a variety of heights and can be used indoors or outdoors.

Fluye Studio is a Spanish design firm that pushes the limits of modern decor. They create both industrial and graphic design for their clients, using the surrounding space as inspiration for form and function. The two founders both have design education from the prestigious Valencia University. The above pictured Desapercibido is an experiment in making furniture exist only when it is needed. Roughly translated to “Unnoticed” in English, this installation features ceramic front pieces on the drawers, cupboards, shelves and other “hidden” pieces in the room. This matches perfectly with the fixed ceramic tiles that adorn the other surfaces, and create an innovative and interactive minimalist atmosphere.

Davide Vercelli has plenty of artistic vision. His designs are the product of years of imagination, manipulation, and trial and error experiments. The above pictured Struttura Quattro table is a detailed, multi-layered piece that utilizes texture and patterns to add intrigue. Compare this to the below pictured Struttura Uno design, which features industrial inspirations in the metal and glass material combination and firmly bolted appearance, and you’d almost think they came from two separate designers. But that’s what sets Vercelli apart from the crowd: his varied, unique, and multi-influenced approach to design. Working in wood, glass, metal and more, Vercelli creates design from the true limitless bounds of his imagination.

Alex MacMaster heads up MacMaster Design, a design firm that produces sleek, artsy modern furniture. MacMaster believes that, “Furniture should be as much an artistic statement as it is functional,” and this attitude shows through all of the pieces in the two collections, Iris and Expose. In addition to the collections showcased on their website, MacMaster Design produces bespoke furniture as custom designs for clients. The latest piece in the Expose collection is the above pictured coffee table. It features a three-point, symmetrical, interlocking leg fixture at the base which supports a toughened glass top. Available in several stains, this beautiful piece stands alone as an art installment or as a versatile central coffee table in any home.

Mossi is a design firm inspired by the sparrow: elegant in simplicity and at home wherever it is. Mossi strives to bring this sensation to all of the pieces that it produces. Each piece in the Mossi collection is like the feathers on a sparrow – individual yet complimentary, colorful yet simple. Most of this collection is hand made as well, so each piece will stand alone as a unique addition to any modern home. The above pictured Turdus bowl is hand crafted from all organic materials, and takes the shape of the designer’s hands who worked on it. The earthy and natural feel of this bowl can be found in even the most minimalist pieces from Mossi.
