Modulanko

Modulanko is a modular furniture system designed by Italian company Minotti. The system allows users to customize their furniture through a combination of individual components, which can be easily assembled and rearranged to meet changing needs and preferences.

Launched in 2019, Modulanko represents a departure from traditional custom furniture design, where bespoke pieces are often produced in large quantities and tailored to a specific client's requirements. In contrast, Modulanko's modular approach enables users to configure their own space without incurring significant costs or lead time.

The system comprises a variety of components, including sofas, modular units, poufs, and storage elements, which can be mixed and matched to create unique configurations. Users can select from a range of colors, fabrics, and finishes to create their personalized design. Additionally, the system's adaptability enables it to evolve as user needs change, reducing waste and the need for constant replacement.

Modulanko has been praised for its flexibility, customizability, and affordability, offering consumers an alternative to bespoke high-end furniture while still providing the option for precision tailoring to individual tastes and requirements. Brands such as IKEA and Herman Miller also use modular design approaches to create adaptable furniture solutions.
