Minimalissimo Weekly Edit
Letter Nº7
Hello. I had an interesting discussion with my team this week. It was about curated guides for specific spaces. How often have you seen a photo on a site or Instagram, noticed an object or piece of furniture and thought, "that would look great in my home, or in my office, or on my desk"? Sometimes these items are tagged and labelled, and sometimes they're not. Anyway, we thought it might be a fun experiment to create a guide to help you visualise how a space could work by suggesting certain design pieces and why they might work well for you. I think it could be pretty useful, but it's difficult to say how much time and resource would be needed for it to be worthwhile. We'll try to publish the first one in a few weeks or so and see what the reaction is. If you have any thoughts on this, please do let me know.
Our features this week included beautiful and understated Japanese architecture along with some outstanding photography courtesy of Gustav Willeit and Nicholas Alan Cope in our featured mood. Take a look, take it slow, and enjoy your Sunday.

Gustav Willeit (Photographer)
"I think there is no place that I wouldn't like to photograph. I believe that every place has a dimension to tell, even if it might be hidden sometimes."
