- Scandinavian

- Minimalist
A style that emerged in the early ’90s based on the actual use of the material and the absence of excessive decoration. Although very few and always with modern and angular designs, the furniture is the main focus of this style. The philosophy of minimalism is summarized in “less is more,” but having less, each piece must have a superior design and quality since nothing can be hidden.
- Art deco
