Miniforms is an Italian furniture company for contemporary design — born in the early 1970s as an evolution of Inveta (Industria Veneta Tavolinetti), a producer of side tables and home accessories founded in 1962 by Luigi Bardini in Meolo (Venice, Veneto). Bardini was a strong-willed entrepreneur: he had initially sold staples to local industries before switching to wood furniture and building it into an internationally visible company. In the late 1980s Miniforms entered the international arena: chairs, tables and bookcases expanded the programme. In 2009 Bardini passed the company to his three sons Alessandro, Matteo and Mario, who introduced avant-garde production techniques, brought in young talents and built Miniforms Lab as a dedicated R&D structure. Sustainability values have been part of the DNA for decades — "zero waste" and reuse long before the industry trend.
