“They are an elusive source of creative energy inhabiting a supremely productive oeuvre that is an example, a model to all of us that the question is far more important than the answer?”

“Minimaforms’ precisely breathes an atmospheric dimension into architecture while endowing it with shifting anthropic contours.”
- Marie-Ange Brayer, Centre Pompidou
Studio
The studio was founded by brothers Stephen and Theodore Spyropoulos as a laboratory at the crossroads of art, design, science, and technology. Working at the forefront of contemporary practice, the brothers foreground human and emotive experiences through progressive works that enable curiosity, evolve, and are adaptive to ever-evolving needs. Their approach to design challenges disciplinary distinctions in the pursuit of more elemental and relational approaches to spatial interfacing. Research-led and generative in their conceptualization, Minimaforms projects engage complex problems through innovative and user-centric design.
