Top 10 Gift Ideas for Minimalist Companies

Minimalism has become synonymous with cool.

In recent years, the minimalist trend has reached every facet of society. Everything seems to be going minimalist these days, from websites and corporate brands to apps and offices. The trend even extends to minimalist corporate gifts, with many sleek, simple designs available to wow your team.

Minimalism has appeared in many forms over the years, with iterations reflected in the early 20th century through the De Stijl movement and the architecture of Ludwig Mies Van der Rohe. It’s also prominent in Japanese Zen design and hygge, a minimalist style inspired by Scandinavian design trends.
