It’s only natural to encounter visual variations of what can be considered a minimalist project. Loft Kolasinski, a Polish interior design firm, rebuilt and furnished a Berlin House showcasing local flavours and remixing restored pieces. Each room presents a particular dynamic and, in this case, the minimalism isn’t about absence, it’s about fundamental elements for daily routine.

The furniture takes on the protagonist role for each area, showcasing beautiful wood textures and terrific industrial design. The pieces are slender and flourish-free, resulting in clean lines and infusing lightness to a heavy material. A careful selection was made for the lamps and chandeliers, each room boasting these proudly as supporting acts that battle for your attention. Last but not least, the tour de force is the grey bathroom flawlessly composed with modern lines, breaking the white colour dominance.

The only extra step, that goes beyond the norm, is the Polish pottery collection from the 1950-60’s, conveying an untreated touch. It is a very difficult balance to achieve for a project to preserve a clear minimalist sensibility, and not give in to the usual ‘empty space’ motif. This is a clear example of what minimalism can be championing local rudiments.
