MINIM design style is defined by their love of rescuing objects most people would discard and using them in new and beautiful ways. This philosophy led them to overhaul a cluttered and dilapidated printing press from Barcelona, making the old building look very stylish. “Timeless modern” design aesthetic includes plenty of earthy tones, worn leather, laboratory glass, science memorabilia, vintage industrial pieces and natural textures. As you can easily notice from the pictures below, it was an old printing press, on the floor of a building in the Centre of Barcelona Street, with about 800 m2 spread over two large plants. The assignment was to turn it into an estudio-vivienda, recycling the maximum number of elements, both the structure and the original furniture of the owner. The look had to be industrial, typical of the first American lofts.
Industrial style is popular for decorating lofts and old buildings turned into living spaces. All you need is to create an illusion of rough surfaces and materials that suggest industrial past.
The most simple way to show some roughness is to leave some walls or surfaces unfinished.
Unusual chairs make for a unique focal point in the hallway.
Anyone can collect a bunch of cool stuff, but it takes an eye and restraint to find the right balance.
The glass stairs fit very well in this industrial decor.
The pillows become the focal points in the bedroom.
