The MiNiMONO Project
Multi-purpose furniture for the whole family
MiNiMONO is a collection of long-lasting multifunctional furniture made from Recycled-HDPE. The furnitures have different purposes depending on the user: a stool can also be a plant stand, or a side table and therefore adapt to different age groups. It is furniture for kids that adults find so great that they want to keep using! All pieces are mono-material and very easy to assemble, they are suitable for indoors and outdoors and can be cleaned with almost anything. They are meant to last a lifetime but can also be recycled or sent back to us for re-purposing.

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.
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.

By contemplating the waste we produce as a household we came to two conclusions: one, kids furniture is only made for the fugitive years of childhood and two, a piece of the plastic we throw out on daily bases won't decompose during our childrens' lifetime. After this realization, we felt compelled to put our past experiences as an architect and furniture maker to work and turn them into creating alternatives for a more sustainable tomorrow.
