About Us
Minta Interiors came to existence in February of 2005 as a small home based soft furnishings company with its own drapery workroom. Our focus was on designing and manufacturing high-end custom window treatments, bedding and pillows. Since the beginning, our products have been constructed from beautiful, unique fabrics and quality lining and interlining. Our detail, hand finishing techniques were to bring the old European craftsmanship that might have been forgotten.Steady growth and recognition of our business challenged us to deliver highest quality of products to some of the most demanding customers. In the early Spring of 2008, we renovated and decorated one of Geneva's historical building. The first showroom of MINTA INTERIORS was born. We chose Hickory Chair to be our main furniture brand because of its quality, wide variety of styles, wood stain finishes, and other unique customization options. At that time we went live with minta.com, where we showcased Hickory Chair furniture, Visual Comfort Lighting, and Arteriors Home Accessories to the Internet community.
Three years later, we began construction of a larger showroom that houses now MINTA and AGGATI. MINTA INTERIORS became MINTA and in June 2011 we also introduced AGGATI boutique. AGGATI offers exclusively-imported from Europe and Brazil elegant, comfortable ladies shoes. Lines of designer handbags and jewelery came shortly later. Both MINTA and AGGATI represent quality products that are comfortable and timeless.

From the Founder
"As a little girl, my favorite thing was to make clothes for my doll. In the summertime, my parents would always see me sitting outside our house, carefully choosing scraps of fabric for a cocktail dress, coat, or pajamas. My doll also needed sheets, pillows, blankets and window treatments, which I made for her using just scissors, a needle, and white thread. There were no sketches or patterns, just a design idea in my head and a completed project soon after.
Years went by, and in 1989 I was accepted to the Stanislaw Wyspianski Art School in Jaroslaw, Poland, where for five years I studied color composition, painting and drawing, sculpture, and art history. After graduation, I moved with my family to the United States. It took me many years to learn about this country, its people and their language. I had to put aside my art interests while I studied business administration and started my own family. Then, my husband and I purchased our first beautiful home that needed to be remodeled, furnished, and decorated. I loved the challenge. Memories came back, and my passion for fabrics, interiors, and sewing skills could finally shine through."
