Minimalissimo Weekly Edit
Letter Nº12
Hello. If ever there was a time to embrace minimalism and slowing down—it’s now. Sadly however, many people are doing just the opposite. Anyway, I hope you’re all doing well. And no, this week’s newsletter does not include any advice for remote working. The only real thing of note is that we finally released Minimalissimo Nº1 in digital (ePub) format. As it has been sold out for a few years, we wanted to still make its contents available to those who missed out on the print edition. Please do check it out.
Our features over the past week included a conversation with Vipp’s Chief Designer, Morten Bo Jensen, a close look at the incredible furniture collection by KROFT, and the super minimalist Kub Basin design by Victor Vasilev. We also published a striking seascapes series by photographer Joel Biddle. Have a read, take it slow, and enjoy your Sunday.
—Carl Barenbrug, Creative Director
Creator Interview
Morten Bo Jensen (Chief Designer at Vipp)
“It basically started as a crazy idea of designing a kitchen that would match your bin.”
Features
KROFT
KROFT makes functional products that are intended to elevate the style of everyday living. The company was born out of the desire to make home products that subscribe to the “less but better” philosophy—thoughtful, quality pieces that stand the test of time.
Kub Basin
Milan-based architect Victor Vasilev produced the seamless creature that is the Kub basin in 2010. The seamless nature of this piece, and the way that it has an almost floating ability is sculpturally beautiful.
