Miniforms
We believe that elegance is not a drab aesthetic but a vibrant, colourful approach. Sometimes you’re serious. Sometimes you’re light-hearted. That’s life. But at least when you’re at home, try to be carefree.
Look after your home, choose a nice colour palette, buy flowers to put on the table. Or a little penguin, as we did.
The main thing is to take it easy occasionally and enjoy the little things with elegance. Our furniture will help you.

Zaven, Matteo Zorzenoni and Giorgio Biscaro are the promoters of the Something Good project a research collective for design and communication.
