Minima

Minima is a furniture, lighting and interior design firm in Dublin, Ireland that began in 1998. Some photos in their portfolio shocked me. Here's why: I hate dark blue...and I have no idea why. I don't wear dark blue, and I do not have dark blue in my home. But I found these photos below where dark blue is a predominant accent colour and I love them.

I am featuring some photos from their interior design work below, and since I was taken aback by their fantastic line of furniture and lighting, my favourites are shown below as well (I'll take one of each).
