Minimalissimo Weekly Edit
Letter Nº14
Hello. I hope you're coping as well as can be expected in this surreal time. Above all, I hope you're healthy. You know, there's an interesting quote from The Minimalists that says:
"Constantly searching for breaking news will break you."
I think it's super important that we don't entirely immerse ourselves in this crisis. Instead try to find pockets of normality. Create a new routine. Create something. Keep your mind and body as healthy as you can.
Our features over the past week included an interview with one of my design heroes, Naoto Fukasawa. It was such a pleasure to speak to him and certainly marks a proud moment for this magazine. We visited Ukraine to admire the masterful monochrome interior of Green Hills House, and we showcased the exceptionally well-designed White Stripe lamp by German studio Relvãokellermann. We also set the mood with a quiet retreat to the countryside. I think we could all do with a dose of that at the moment. Have a read, take it slow, and enjoy your Sunday.

Creator Interview
Naoto Fukasawa (Product Designer)
"I want to read people's minds, find a common image, and to reveal the archetype through design."
Features
Green Hills
The stunning Green Hills dwelling is a family home located in the Kyiv suburbs of Ukraine. The home, designed by Yakusha Design, is intended to exude peace and calm. A monochrome palette combined with an artistic curating of furniture and accessories results in a lovely residence that appeals to both minimalist enthusiasts and the merely minimal-curious.
White Stripe
Created by German studio Relvãokellermann, White Stripe is a vertical LED light beam designed to emphasise details on interior architecture. It was a limited edition developed as a commission on the occasion of the Kunstverein München Jahresgaben 2019.
