Zen Furniture
Minimalism
is an artistic movement which strives to strip the object of it's non-essential
forms, enhancing and exposing the essence or identity of an object. Minimalism
attempts to negate items of their garish natures, and unnecessary design
features. In interior design this means stripping furniture and rooms of all
lavishness and instead designing a room to suit purpose. Fashion For Home is a company that specializes in stylish minimalist décor at great affordable prices.
Minimalist
inspiration hails from the East, with countries like Japan and their Zen
Buddhist ideology being a massive influence. Minimalism isn't a purely
aesthetic movement, in Japan design is used to promote a notion of truth. For
example, this Geppetto
Coffee Chair from Studio Copenhagen, a leading company in minimalist
design, is a prime example of this. In essence, this is a chair. Its purpose is
to provide a frame to sit on.

Rather
than covering it in lavish design patterns and fancy materials, this chair
features four legs, a back and two arm rests. This design has been heavily
influenced by the Chinese Ming Dynasty, another culture where minimalism and
Buddhism have also made their mark. This chair is made from Polycarbonate to
ensure that is sturdy, without using nails and screws. The chair is just one
form, with no assembly required.

Another
great example is this Caroline
Walnut Bench. Designed by Red Living, this is a perfect example of
minimalist furniture at its most functional. Simple, with a great walnut veneer
finish, this is perfect for dinner parties, where you have to squeeze as many
people as possible at the table.

Fashion
for Home runs a manufacture to order scheme. This enables them to rid themselves
of storage warehouses where stock just mounts up. This is an excellent business
model as it saves money on expenses from travel and storage as well reducing
their carbon footprint.
