Minimalissimo Weekly Edit
Minimalissimo in Design
Hello. I hope you've had a good week. I'm delighted to share some exciting news with you. Today marks the release of our long-awaited diptych screenprints that we made in collaboration with Berger & Föhr. 100–0 is a split-fountain diptych print series utilising 13 hand-mixed tints of black ink and white to create a fluid gradient screenprint from 100% black to white across two sheets.
A limited edition of only 30 stamped, signed, and numbered screenprints, we would love to see these beautifully minimal diptychs showcased in the homes and offices of our readers and anyone with a genuine appreciation for minimalism in art and design.
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 an interview with designer Hallgeir Homstvedt as part of our Creator Conversations series. We visit Denmark to admire Norm Architects' latest work in the form of the beautiful Fjord Boat House. And in our featured mood we make time for play, challenge, and creativity featuring some well-designed, minimal toys. Have a read, take it slow, and enjoy your Sunday.
— Carl Barenbrug, Creative Director

A Conversation with Hallgeir Homstvedt (Furniture Designer)
Norwegian designer Hallgeir Homstvedt aims to simplify as much as possible in order to get to the essence of a product. And with this philosophy in mind, he has successfully created a remarkable portfolio that draws on minimal, simple, and Nordic sensibilities. We spoke to Hallgeir to discuss his journey into design, some of his outstanding works, and what he considers to be great design.
Fjord Boat House
By the Danish sea where the water surface undulates and the sun casts a shadow over ruffling leaves, the sound of nature embraces Fjord Boat House in a harmonic symphony. Designed by Norm Architects, the project is a tranquil retreat of Scandi-Japanese aesthetic.

Asco Visitor Center
The exterior of the Asco Visitor Center, located in Tarragona, Spain, is undeniably striking and features black vertical steel plates on the facade. Its geometry on the site implies that the context of the building is very much contemporary and relevant.
