Minosa Pty Ltd

About

Minosa is an innovative Australian design company, specialising in the local boutique manufacture of high quality washbasins and bathroom furniture and stand-alone design concepts for contemporary bathrooms and kitchens.

Minosa bathroom product is available exclusively from the Minosa Gallery with the idea of giving customers greater access to high quality product by dealing directly with the designers. The unique blend of construction and interior design credentials of the company directors, Darren Genner and Simona Castagna, provides customers with the benefits of product selection advice, installation or maintenance tips and if desired, a bathroom or kitchen design service with the option of construction and project management.

Genner and Castagna closely monitor international trends while infusing their own creative talents and knowledge of the Australian context into their designs. Castagna's highly attuned knowledge of design and customer needs draws on experience working with such leading global brands as Poliform, Verena and Bang and Olufsen. While Genner's well-honed craftsmanship and design skills are the culmination of 23 years in trades. His extensive background as a wood machinist is complemented by specialisation in the kitchen industry where he completed an apprenticeship and worked in contract management.

Minosa's unique service and product offer underpinned by multidisciplinary design thinking avails a totally integrated and seamless bathroom and or kitchen solution for a home or apartment - from the purchase of a single washbasin through to the design and installation of a total concept.

Launched in 2001, Minosa invested extensively in research and development prior to opening Minosa Gallery in 2003.

"Our goal was to make available in Australia, high quality locally manufactured product, that was made to order, crafted by artisans, not mass produced, and that was up there with the best in the world - in design, workmanship, trends, use of the finest materials, aesthetic, performance and lead times", says Genner.

The quality and integrity of Minosa's design and product collection is evident in an extensive awards list dating back to the company's inception. More recent awards include:

KBDI Design Awards 2009 - Bathroom Designer of the Year NSW; Finalist Kitchen Designer of the Year.

Corian Du PontTM Design Awards 2008 - Grand Prize Residential Design Winner

IDEA Inside Magazine Product of the Year Awards 2008 - Finalist Bathroom Product; Finalist Emerging Design Studio.
