WE ARE JULIETA AND DIRK, A MULTICULTURAL COUPLE BASED IN BERLIN TRYING TO CREATE A BETTER FUTURE FOR – AND WITH - OUR TWO CHILDREN. WE ALL ARE MiNiMONO.

WE DEVELOPED THIS PROJECT DURING THE FIRST COVID1 LOCKDOWN, WHEN WE SPENT A LOT OF TIME TOGETHER AS A FAMILY AT OUR HOME AND COULD OBSERVE BOTH HOW MUCH PLASTIC WASTE WE WERE PRODUCING AND ALSO HOW EACH OF US WOULD USE THE SAME PIECE OF FURNITURE IN DIFFERENT WAYS. WE DECIDED TO DESIGN FURNITURE THAT WAS LONG-LASTING, EASY TO CLEAN, BEAUTIFUL TO SEE AND COULD BE USED AND LOVED BY BOTH ADULTS AND CHILDREN. AND MiNiMONO WAS BORN.

OUR AIM IS TO TURN DISCARDED PLASTIC INTO LIFE-LASTING OBJECTS ADAPTABLE TO MULTIPLE USES, ENVIRONMENTS AND GENERATIONS.

WE DESIGN FURNITURE FOR FAMILIES WITH BOTH FUNCTIONALITY AND AESTHETICS IN MIND BECAUSE WE BELIEVE THAT EVERYDAY OBJECTS HAVE THE POWER TO GET PEOPLE ENGAGED WITH THE CIRCULAR ECONOMY.
