Soft Minimal

Soft Minimal is minimalism with the cold taken out of it. The discipline stays, so clutter is still the enemy and every piece still has to justify itself, but the palette warms up and the edges round off.

Think oatmeal rather than white, bouclé rather than leather, curves rather than corners. It is the difference between a room that impresses people and a room people actually want to sit down in. Shadow and daylight are part of the scheme, which makes it work particularly well in a New Zealand home with good light and not much wall.

Our Soft Minimal range covers vases and vessels, cushions and throws, lighting, ceramics and quiet decorative objects in warm neutrals. One considered piece per surface is usually the answer.
