MINIMALISM
MINIMALIST AESTHETIC 2025: A NEW INTERPRETATION
Minimalism continues to evolve, adapting to cultural shifts and emerging design philosophies. As we move into 2025, the minimalist aesthetic is deeply intertwined with wellness, embracing spaces that promote balance, tranquility, and a sense of refuge.
This interpretation unfolds through two distinct styles—Scandinavian and Japandi—and two additional materiality-driven variations that enrich interiors with warmth and subtle sophistication.
Scandinavian Design:
The Essence of Hygge
Rooted in the concept of Hygge, Scandinavian design is centred on warmth, comfort, and creating a sense of contentment in the home.
It merges functionality with organic shapes, celebrating simplicity while incorporating elements of nature to bring serenity indoors.
Barely There Designs:
Light & Airy Spaces
Designs that feel weightless and seamless
This aesthetic has been driven by a love of materials and effortless spaces. Uniting subtle lighting with its connection point—materials, and effortlessly blending the two. These designs offer warmth and sophistication, perfect for monochromatic palettes and soft textures, where diffused light creates a sense of flow. Spaces are defined by their ability to dissolve into their surroundings, evoking calm through understated elegance.
Warm Neutrals:
Nurturing & Embracing
Combining neutrals, warmth and tactility—this is a space where softened palettes and touchable textures create ambient environments.
At the heart of this approach is the underlying goal to create spaces that feel nurturing—where every surface invites interaction, and every material contributes to a cocooning atmosphere.
Japandi: The Balance of Wabi-Sabi
SPACES THAT FEEL PEACEFUL & SIMPLE
A fusion of Japanese and Scandinavian design philosophies, Japandi embodies the beauty of imperfection, embracing raw textures, earthy tones, and natural materials. Inspired by Wabi-Sabi, this style values simplicity and craftsmanship, highlighting the passage of time through unrefined finishes. The main goal for this style is tranquility, achieved through deliberate, understated design choices.
Wabi-sabi
An ancient Japanese philosophy that celebrates the beauty of imperfection. Rooted in a profound connection to nature, it invites us to embrace simplicity, finding elegance in the rustic and the unrefined.
