Minimalissimo Weekly Edit
Minimalissimo in Design
Hello. I hope you've had a good week. I was recently thinking that it can be very easy to feel under pressure to make a success of something (depending on your definition). Particularly something you have spent a great deal of time on and invested heavily in—if not only financially, but also with your time. Our new book is a perfect example. How many copies do we need to sell to break even? How long will it take to sell them all? What are the margins? It can be a terrible distraction to get bogged down in analytics when ultimately all we need to do is calmy reflect and appreciate the fact we have created something that will last a lifetime. And in that sense, the numbers don't matter that much.
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 include the latest work of prolific architect Fran Silvestre. We visit Boulder, Colorado to admire an impeccably minimal interior design by Michelle Wentworth. And in our featured mood we showcase the work of German studio, Aesthek. Have a read, take it slow, and enjoy your Sunday.
— Carl Barenbrug, Creative Director
Features
ÀTIC BLANC
Fran Silvestre Arquitectos’ latest build comes in the form of a clean-cut, pure white dwelling in Spain’s southeastern coastal city of Valencia. The project, named ÀTIC BLANC, seeks to reinterpret this type of housing approach, recovering the potential of disused roofs.
NS Residence
Where the Rocky Mountains meet the Great Plains of Colorado, the city of Boulder sits in stillness under a majestic blue sky. The essence of nature in this region is poetically brought into the interior of NS Residence, designed by Michelle Wentworth.

O-KI Lounge Chair
Melbourne-based furniture designer Tom Hewitt is the creator behind the wonderfully simple O-KI Lounge Chair—a timber and fabric chair with an optional ottoman. A key feature of the chair is the user’s ability to easily remove dowels to replace the sling if required.
