Minimal USA makes "minimal" even the outdoor

More than 300 guests including architects, interior designers, press and clients, have admired for the very first time Minimal’s first outdoor kitchen in all its glory on Minimal USA’s showroom rooftop.

The event, in partnership with Gaggenau, Hangar Design Group and sponsored by Serralunga, Birra Moretti and Jean-Charles Boisset, has also had a live coverage on Minimal USA’s social media profiles.

The unfolding of the night, in fact, could also be followed on Minimal USA's FacebookInstagram and Twitter official accounts, where more pictures of the party and, most of all, of the kitchen will be uploaded to soon.

Minimal’s first line of outdoor kitchens has effectively removed all limits to its offering. Architects and interior designers can finally give space to their creativity by conceiving the use of the kitchens in outdoor spaces, making them, at the same time, minimal.

This outdoor friendly collection features materials that make the kitchen not only perfect for the outdoors, but also for the interiors, ensuring a superlative result. The design is typical of Minimal USA: contemporary and minimal. As any other products by Minimal, the kitchen is fully customizable in size.

Further innovations that have already been introduced to Minimal USA’s products are new wood doors with veneers thick enough (4 millimeters = 0.15 inches) to be used as countertops, significantly stronger than those used by the competition. The new veneers come in a multitude of different woods and can be custom finished to match the customers’ preferences.


There is no limit to imagination. There is no limit with Minimal USA.

Minimal USA on DVD and Blu-ray...again!!!


From today Side Effects is available on DVD and Blu-ray...so is Minimal USA!

Minimal USA’s VERVE kitchen designed for The Brewster Carriage House is, in fact, featured in the movie Side Effects starring Jude Law, Catherine Zeta-Jones, Rooney Mara and Channing Tatum.

One of the apartments in the historical building in Nolita, NYC has been selected to host the last movie by the Academy Award–winning film director Steven Soderbergh.
Jude Law interprets the psychiatrist Jonathan Banks who lives with his wife Dierdre Banks (Vinessa Shaw) and their son in this open space apartment. The kitchen was designed by Stefano Venier, Minimal USA’s art director and manufactured by Minimal in Italy.

Thanks to its sleek and refined design, the kitchen is framed many times during the movie and even in the official trailer. The kitchen is the ambient chosen to shoot one of the crucial scenes of the film in which the psychiatrist and his wife have an important discussion.
Also, for a full minute, Minimal USA’s VERVE kitchen takes up the entire screen whilst Jude Law, from behind, is concentrating on studying the case at his desk.

This is the second time that one of our custom kitchens has been featured in a Hollywood production. In 2011, Minimal USA was asked to design a kitchen for Patrick Dempsey, the bad guy in the movie Transformers 3 – Dark of the Moon starring, among others, Shia LaBeouf, Rosie Huntington-Whiteley and John Turturro.
