-- sometimes beauty lives within the walls of pure white rooms.
Modern Minimal brings the calm of clean lines and leaves open space for peace. When it comes to the modern decor lifestyle, there definitely is a place for well defined edges + precise forms. Using hand-skills based manufacturing, the Matthew Hilton Collection is far from mass produced and is only crafted in relatively small quantities using innovative techniques and materials. With his design process so precise and his inspirations so diverse -- from architecture to art to utilitarian wares -- this line is a must see for any modern decor enthusiast.
