Miisty-Eyed in Milan
Miist is a new furniture brand founded by designer Alex Baser, who creates the designs in Milan with manufacturing in Turkey. The collection features sleek, minimalist lines with a dash of design flair, imbuing the products with a sense of refinement and warmth. Some of the products, such as the Naive console and the Otto table, have a strong sculptural presence and would no doubt light up the rooms they are placed in. The generous use of luxurious materials such as marble and brass adds further to their appeal. Aficionados of minimalist designs will no doubt be misty-eyed with desire.

Geometric Inspirations by John Eric Byers
American artist-designer John Eric Byers cites, amongst others, Donald Judd and Richard Serra as sources of his inspiration. The influence of these American masters of minimalism are clear to see from the furniture he has created.

Detractors of minimalism often decry the cold, impersonal nature of the style. However, when executed intelligently, minimalist designs can be surprisingly expressive. The furniture collections of designer Niko Koronis is a case in point.
