About us

We deeply believe that: “We are a product of our environment. The spaces we inhabit and the objects we live with influence the way we feel, think, and behave, while they create the framework for our lives to unfold within.”

At The Soft Minimal, our design philosophy is guided by the purpose of well-being and emotional serenity. Our approach is entirely based on the idea that spaces and furniture should, first and foremost, serve the user rather than merely be a means of artistic expression.

We share the principles honed over 15 years in human-centric design, celebrating the artful balance of light and shadow, and honoring the calming, tactile effect of natural materials.

The Soft Minimal was founded by Manuela Guidarini (B1986), an Italian Architect and Artist who currently lives and works in Copenhagen, Denmark.

With over 10 years of professional experience in interior layout design and artistic canvas creation at leading design firms in Copenhagen, Manuela has cultivated a profound design ethos. Her artworks explore the relationship between geometry and mental stillness, drawing inspiration from architecture, massing, and geometrical grids interacting with light and shadow.

"Art is something that saved my life. I explore my creativity as a natural way to communicate my emotions and induce a state of calmness and stillness in the viewer."
