NOT JUST OBJECTS
A WAY OF SEEING, SELECTING,
AND LIVING.
Minval was born from a quiet impulse—to see the beauty in what remains. What began as a response to overlooked and discarded marble fragments evolved into a deeper philosophy: one that values restraint, reverence for material, and the enduring nature of simplicity.
At its core, Minval is about transformation. We reclaim and reimagine leftover stone, allowing each piece to guide its own form rather than forcing it into one. This practice not only honors the material’s past, but also gives it new meaning in the present—turning fragments into objects of quiet significance. Sustainability, for us, is not a trend but an instinct—a way of listening to what already exists, and shaping it with care.
We work primarily with marble, chosen for its timeless presence and silent strength. Often paired with silver, glass, or leather, each composition reflects a subtle tension between contrast and harmony, weight and lightness, texture and clarity. These materials are not merely aesthetic choices, but carriers of feeling and form—each one selected to enhance the other, and to speak softly through design.
Our approach is slow, deliberate, and intuitive. We believe that objects carry more than function; they hold emotion, atmosphere, and memory. A vessel placed with care, the cool touch of stone at dusk, the soft glow of silver in passing light—these are the quiet gestures we design for. Every Minval piece is meant to be lived with, not just looked at—to become part of your rituals, your stillness, your space.
We embrace imperfection, silence, and the honesty of material. Marks, textures, and variations are not flaws—they are part of the story. In a world of excess, we choose clarity. In a culture of speed, we choose presence. We do not follow trends. Instead, we seek permanence—a quiet continuity that deepens over time.
Minval exists not to impress, but to endure. Each object offers more than form; it offers a moment of pause, a sense of grounding, a lasting simplicity that lingers in the background—refined, intentional, and always evolving with you.
Because we believe that the most meaningful things are not always the loudest—but the ones that stay.
We, as Minval, celebrated the 35th anniversary of Marie Claire Türkiye, a magazine that has long embodied the independent and confident spirit of Turkish women. At the ceremony held at the Çırağan Palace, we co-created the award sculptures with Malik Bulut, a reinterpretation of the female form crafted in marble and marble powder. Not flawless by convention, but assured in her presence: grounded, certain, quietly powerful.
We, as Minval, recently saw our pieces placed within the refined interiors of hotels in Paris, a setting where material honesty and timeless form naturally resonate. Selected objects from our collection were included in a private design placement, highlighting their calm geometry within one of the city’s most storied spaces. For us, it affirmed what craftedvmaterials can evoke: stillness, tactility, and avsense of belonging.
In our collaboration with Ebru Döşekçi, we explored the delicate art of connection through sculptural form. For THE KISS, the marble was treated with a special lacquer finish, a new material exploration for us. These pieces were showcased at Maison & Objet Paris in January 2025, standing as quiet studies of intimacy and intention.
