Minimalissimo Weekly Edit
Minimalissimo in Design
Hello. I hope you’ve had a good week. So guess what? We are going to sell our first ever article on minimalissimo.com, published back in 2009, as an NFT. Nah, I’m just shitting you. That would be ridiculous. Maybe our first ever tweet instead. This week we made a special announcement to our members, unveiling our latest completed project. I can’t share this with everyone just yet, but it will be announced in next week’s letter. It has been 2 years in the making, so I hope you can get behind it. Besides that, look out for our latest creator conversation, which we’ll be publishing on the site tomorrow (Monday).
For all projects we’re working on, you can see updates in our Sync, which you’ll get access to by becoming a member.
Our features over the past week includes a superbly crafted spruce wood furniture collection by Formafantasma. We visit a little village in Okayama, Japan to admire the beautiful design details of nottuo’s Drill Store. And in our featured mood, we showcase some minimalist digital art (currently not available to buy as NFTs). Have a read, take it slow, and enjoy your Sunday.
