From Chaos to Order
Our works are never created at random. They are constructed upon the profound relationship betweenĀ geometryĀ andĀ mental stillness.
As we researched the deeper motivations of our collectors, we discovered a common denominator: the desire toĀ tangibly materialize invisible psychological states.Ā You are not looking for an object that simply fits a physical space; you are looking for something that fits a mental state.
Consequently, every geometric grid, every massing decision, and every artistic balance between light and shadow serves a singular, ultimate mission:Ā To guide you from a state of chaos to a state of order and stillness.
This is also why theĀ slow craftĀ process is mandatory. The waiting and patience involved in creation are, in themselves, the materialization of the stillness we seek.
A Symphony of Materials
In the digital era, we often forget that design is meant to beĀ felt, not just seen. TheĀ haptic experienceĀ the sense of touch plays a central role at The Soft Minimal.
We rigorously apply the principle ofĀ "Texture Balance."
A collection composed entirely of glossy objects feels slippery and lacks depth, while a collection of purely rough surfaces can feel heavy and stagnant. True harmony lies in the tension between opposites: betweenĀ GlossĀ andĀ Matte, between theĀ OrganicĀ and theĀ Industrial.
MANUELA GUIDARINI
Every sculpture at The Soft Minimal is rooted in the vision of Manuela Guidarini (b. 1986, Italy), an Architect and Artist based in Copenhagen, Denmark.
Manuela's work is a profound exploration of the relationship between geometry and mental stillness. Drawing heavily on her architectural background, her creations are deeply influenced by the interaction of geometrical grids, massing, and the artful balance of light and shadow.
She designs not for mere aesthetic display, but to induce the viewer in a state of calmness and stillness. For Manuela, fine art is the most natural way to communicate emotion and ensure every object we craft serves your emotional well-being and visual order.
SOFT MINIMAL
Our philosophy is rooted in the belief that beauty must serve your well-being. Unlike rigid minimalism, our approach informed by Nordic discipline and Japanese tranquility seeks to amplify warmth and tranquility through restraint.
Every sculpture is crafted not just to look beautiful, but to feel right. We honor the tactile effect of natural materials and the artful balance of light and shadow, ensuring our pieces act as a meditative anchor in your space.
FAQs
At The Soft Minimal, we do not believe in mass-produced inventory collecting dust in a warehouse. AeroCherub is a commissioned art piece, crafted specifically for you upon order. The journey of your sculpture involves two distinct phases:
- The Crafting Phase (3 - 5 Days): Once your order is placed, our artisans begin the precision molding, curing, and hand-polishing process to ensure the resin surface achieves its porcelain-like finish.
- The Journey Home (2 - 4 Weeks): To ensure the heavy marble base and delicate balloon figure arrive in pristine condition, we utilize specialized secure logistics rather than standard express couriers. We prioritize safety over speed.
We have a "Pristine Arrival Guarantee."
In the rare event that your sculpture arrives with any damage (cracks, chips, or breaks), please take photos and email them to contact@thesoftminimal.com within 48 hours of delivery. We will arrange for a replacement to be crafted and shipped to you immediately, at no extra cost.
It will be nearly identical, with one beautiful exception: The Marble Base. Because we use natural stone for the base, the veining (the natural lines in the stone) varies from piece to piece. This means no two AeroCherub sculptures are exactly alike yours will be a unique original.
Absolutely. You will receive a notification the moment your sculpture leaves our studio. This email will contain a tracking number so you can follow its journey to your home. If you have any specific questions about your shipment's status, our concierge team is always available at contact@thesoftminimal.com.
Electroplated resin is a high-quality composite material that combines the lightweight, smooth molding capabilities of resin with a durable, mirror-like metallic coating. It is robust and designed to last, but like any fine art sculpture or ceramic piece, it should be handled with care and protected from hard impacts.
While the materials are durable, prolonged exposure to direct sunlight (UV rays), rain, or extreme temperature fluctuations can degrade the glossy finish and the marble base over time. We recommend displaying it in living rooms, entryways, or offices.
Because production begins almost immediately after your order is placed, we can only accept cancellation requests within 24 hours of purchase. After this window, materials have been allocated and the crafting process is underway.
It is our core belief that beauty must serve your well-being. We design objects that balance architectural order with emotional warmth and tactilityācreating spaces that feel as good as they look.
This is an excellent and intentional part of the design. The name "AeroCherub" fuses "Aero" (Air) and "Cherub" (a little angel). In our philosophy, this piece is not a literal depiction of a boy or girl, but a genderless spiritual being designed to capture the essence of pure innocence, hope, and effortless joy. These emotions are universal and transcend physical gender, enhancing your emotional well-being.
Yes, minimal assembly is required to ensure the piece ships safely and affordably. But don't worry, it is incredibly easy and takes less than 5 minutes. The statue, base, and balloon are packed separately in custom foam. The process is simple, intuitive, and requires absolutely no special tools.
