Minima collection

Designers

Bruno Fattorini
Robin Rizzini

Year

2013-2023

Request info

In 1998, Bruno Fattorini designed Minima, a shelving system built around three key elements: shelf, frame, and cabinet. Awarded Honourable Mention at the XVIII Compasso d’Oro, Minima soon became one of the defining pieces of the MDF Italia collection. Its entire architecture is shaped by a profile of just 15 mm, a slender and precise line that gives the project its distinctive visual lightness. The elements are connected through a completely concealed junction system, engineered to ensure seamless aesthetic continuity.
Over the years, Minima has evolved into a versatile, cross-functional furniture system, able to accommodate different uses: a floor-standing or wall-mounted bookcase, a sideboard, or a room divider.

Designer

Bruno Fattorini

"For MDF Italia, I designed products capable of making interiors more livable and welcoming. A further confirmation that the process of subtraction employed by the company has made the collections unique and always relevant."

Founder of MDF Italia, Bruno Fattorini led the company from 1992 to 2013, when it was finally acquired by the Cassina family holding. In addition to redefining the company's strategy based on commercial and product policies, he guided the cultural and aesthetic reflection, focusing on specific lifestyles characterised by an evolution of minimalism and simplicity. The respect for the past and the rigour of forms are reflected in the MDF Italia collection he conceived, which includes the iconic Minima bookshelf, Honorable Mention at the Compasso d'Oro.
