About Us .
a multidisciplinery studio
making spaces, places, images,
objects and sounds.
Minimuc is an internationally operating design studio based in Amsterdam, founded in 2014 by architect Ismini Christakopoulou. We work across the fields of architecture & design, creative direction, graphic+web design and brand identity.
We strive for a refined design full of context. We value beauty, treasure efficiency, crave for experimentation, praise fantasies. We keep on making with an open mind and a curious attitude. With an eye for detail and a good sense of structure, we aim to create unique approaches.
We work closely with our clients, crafting personal, seducing spaces and ideas. We channel each brand's essence through differentiated and statement-making design. We aim in inspiring, current but timeless works, reflective of the values and characters of each user. Our service's application of holistic design principles, makes us unique in our offering.
