Minimalist End Tables

MINIMALIST STYLE

A revival in the popularity of authentic Minimalist furniture is rooted in history while reflecting the needs and tastes of the 21st century. Designer Ludwig Mies van der Rohe’s aphorism that “less is more” influenced the evolution of 20th-century interiors with an emphasis on function and order. This was a shift from the 19th century, with its lavish Victorian decorating, and was spread around the world through design styles including Bauhaus and brutalism.

Yet Minimalism was present in furniture design long before the clean lines of modernism, such as in the simple and elegant utility of Shaker furniture. Although the Minimalist art movement of the 1960s and ’70s had little crossover with furniture design, artist Donald Judd was inspired by the Shakers in creating his own spare daybeds and tables from sturdy wood. (Judd, whose advocacy of symmetry also informed his architectural projects, furnished his Manhattan loft with unassuming but poetic works by iconic modernist designers such as Gerrit Rietveld and Alvar Aalto.)

Understatement rather than ornamentation and open space instead of clutter are central themes for a Minimalist living room and bedroom. As opposed to Maximalism, the focus for Minimalist furniture and decor is on simplicity and considering the design and purpose of every object.

Furnishings are usually made in neutral or monochrome colors and pared down to their essentials — think nesting coffee tables, sectional sofas and accent pieces such as ottomans. And Minimalist ceramics can help achieve a decor that is both timeless and of the moment. The organic textures and personalization of handmade craftsmanship associated with these works have served as a sort of anti-Internet to screen-weary decorators. That said, while the thoughtful ergonomics of Scandinavian modern furniture, with its handcrafted teak frames, are at home in Minimalist spaces, so are the quietly striking pieces by Japanese designer Naoto Fukasawa that employ industrial materials like stainless steel, aluminum and plastic.

Minimalist furniture is not for making flashy statements; it boasts subdued appeal and excels at harmonizing with any room. And, as it encompasses many different movements and eras of design, it also never goes out of style, owing to its tasteful refinement.

TOL Accent Table Attributed to French Designer Christophe Delcourt
Located in Miami Beach, FL
TOL accent table attributed to Christophe Delcourt Waxed steel with a luster finish Measures: 13.5 in. H x 17.25 in. D Paris-based Christophe Delcourt was born in Saint-Maur-des-Fossés, France in 1966. He is a self-taught designer and interior architect known for handcrafted furniture and lighting that demonstrate a respect for the environment and a passion for French craft tradition. Delcourt began his studies in acting; he graduated from the drama school Cours Florent in Paris in 1988 and attended the Théâtre École du Passage in Paris in 1989. After sketching stage layouts, however, he realized design was his true calling, and he left his theatrical studies to pursue a career as a designer. After networking with different craftsmen and cabinetmakers to hone his craft, he launched his eponymous studio in the heart of Marais—Paris’s 7th arrondissement—in 1996. Delcourt’s work combines raw materials and elegant lines, and he relies heavily on nature and natural materials—and their ability to shape a design with depth, emotion, and warmth—to inform his work. According to the designer, “Nature is the first element in my design process. If you look, there are so many shapes that you find in nature that you can apply to furniture design—the colors, the textures, the way things can be mixed together. I hope my work is a testimony of my love for material and my profound allegiance to the work of the hand.” Delcourt approaches each of his designs as potential lifelong investments, noting, “I think we must not only live but grow older with a piece of furniture… Nowadays, we eat, work, love, on a sofa… [So] when designing a sofa, one must understand that it will be a true companion for life.” The designer cites legends such as Jean Prouvé, Pierre Chareau, and Jean-Michel Frank as strong influences in his work. To date, Delcourt has collaborated with numerous designers and studios, including the French maison d’édition, Collection Particulière—founded by Jérôme Aumont in 2014—for which Delcourt designed the walnut and leather ROI, FOU, MAT (2014), WAN stools (2015), PAD side tables (2015), and, more recently, the BOS vase (2016) and SLO bookends (2016). He has also designed furniture for Roche Bobois, Cartier’s showroom in Tokyo, the Saint Regis Bal Harbour Resort in Miami, and Louis Vuitton offices in Paris, Barcelona, and Hong Kong. Other notable projects include the NEJ desk (2014) and TIL table (2015), both of which were exhibited at the Palazzo Farnese, home of the French Embassy in Rome in 2016. In addition to his own design work, Delcourt is also an editor, and his catalog includes pieces of furniture exclusively designed by François Champsaur, Jean-Pierre Tortil, Tristan Auer, Laurent Nicolas, and Vincent Dupont-Rougier. Delcourt’s designs have been exhibited at many prestigious art galleries and showrooms worldwide, including Ralph Pucci in the United States, Avenue Road...
