Minimalissimo Weekly Edit
Minimalissimo in Design
Hello. I hope you’ve had a good week. We’re officially into spring and I’m feeling the nature vibes. It has been a really positive week with the launch of our 100–0 gradient screenprints. We’ve sold a third of our sets already, which I’m so happy with. In other news, we’re edging ever closer to the completion of our photo book, and we’re working on a couple of new interviews that we’re excited to share with you soon. Tomorrow also brings a reimagination of an iconic design. So keep an eye out for that.
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 a visit to a beautifully renovated Shinto shrine in Fukuoka. We take a close look at a humidifier that superbly balances form and function. And in our featured mood, we celebrate white space in more ways that one. Have a read, take it slow, and enjoy your Sunday.

Features
Mekari Shrine
Tokyo and Osaka based design studio ABOUT has renovated the award office of a Shinto shrine in Fukuoka, Japan, dating back to 200 AD. Instead of reimagining the building, the architects—led by Tadahiro Butsugan—beautifully renovated the space, honouring the original form of the building.
Ventus Air
Ventus Air is a window installed air purifier designed by Seoul based studio, BEBOP, for a Korean startup specialising in air filtration technology. User installed onto existing window frames, Ventus Air is able to ventilate the room with filtered fresh air, rather than constantly filtering the stale air trapped inside a room.

A Conversation with Matthew Hilton
“I like simple quality which works well and lasts. Things don’t even need to be beautiful, just not ugly. It seems so easy and obvious to me and yet it is hard to find products which fulfil those criteria.”
