ABOUT MINIMA
South African designer Jacques Cronje has spent his entire career working with wood. Initially he focused on technical detailing for timber homes and resorts, and since 2007, his focus has been on the design of timber homes and projects via his architectural practice, Timber Design. His growing interest in the rapidly evolving field of digital design and fabrication, combined with his love of wood, led him to product design in 2012. And later to the launch of his product design brand, minima, at the 2014 Design Indaba expo. Makers of digitally-cut wooden lighting and furniture, minima has created over 30 different styles of pendant lights - made from birch-ply or bamboo - a series of occasional stools, including the playful Baobab duo, the Modulus range of clip-together stools, the award-winning Flow bench, and more recently the Radius Seating Range as well as a collection of flat-pack desks and bed frames. minima’s appeal is its simplicity. Using geometry and curved forms, pieces clip together like a giant puzzle, allowing many of the porducts to be supplied flat pack for easy assembly. From its roots as a small home based business in Jacques garage, minima is now based in a factory and design studio in Capricorn Park in Muizenberg, Cape Town. By combining his design sense and use of digital technology with a love for wood, Jacques and his dedicated team find a deep sense of fullfilment in creating their unique collections of lighting and furniture.

SCREENS While protective screens have become a necessity for many commercial spaces in the wake of the 2020 pandemic , we see no reason why these should not also be made available as a décor element. In keeping with minima’s design ethos of simplicity, we’ve combined the beauty of Birch ply with the necessity of a perspex screen, and developed a range of easy to assemble sturdy screens that tick the boxes of both protection and décor.
ANGELIQUE FROM HOI P’LOY “At Hoi P’loy we place great value on a complementary balance of aesthetics and functionality, which is a big part of what drew us to minima’s protective shield for our showroom. The high quality local craftsmanship, and sophisticated minimal design allows us to maintain the professional atmosphere we strive for at our business, especially as the good health of our team and clients becomes our new top priority.”

minima’s range of protective desk screens are an ideal temporary solution to social distancing in the open plan workplace, or a permanent solution where desk screens are required for privacy. For the latter, the Plexiglass is available in a range of colours to suit your interior. Their advantage over traditional cloth covered desk dividers is that they can be effectively cleaned. And as they are free standing they can be re-arranged to adapt to changing office environments.
MOBILE SCREENS
minima’s range of mobile screens provide a sturdy and flexible mobile solution to social distancing. These are particularly useful in separating workstations, for example between customers in a personal care salon, between closely packed tables in a restaurant or between desks in an open plan office or classroom. They are supplied ready assembled or flatpack for DIY assembly. Enquire for available colours
