Minimalissimo Weekly Edit
Minimalissimo in Design
Hello. I hope you’ve had a good week. We are continuing our shipments of pre-orders of the Selection: Architecture book. For the handful of folks who have received it so far, thanks so much for your supportive feedback. I think we’ll be doing a proper book launch from 1 September, which gives us a bit of time to get the rest of the pre-orders shipped out before taking a much needed work break. Then it’s full steam ahead. The next major project for us will be a website redesign later in the year as we look to further simplify and look to 2022 with a slightly shifted focus. More on that later though.
Our features over the past week include a strong mix of design disciplines. We visit Poland to admire an iconic sculpture, we disocver a remarkable Nordic dwelling in Gotland, Sweden. And in our featured mood, we showcase a range of sleek tech products by Unknown, Untitled. Have a read, take it slow, and enjoy your Sunday.
— Carl Barenbrug, Creative Director

NAWA Sculpture
Located in Daliowa River Island, the smallest of over a dozen in downtown Wrocław in western Poland, NAWA is a futuristic architectural sculpture. Designed by Polish architect Oskar Zięta, the minimalist sculpture reflects historic surroundings both literally and figuratively.
Atrium House
On the picturesque island of Gotland in Sweden sits a home rooted in its surroundings. Drawing inspiration from the expansive scenery and historic buildings, Atrium House by Tham & Videgård continues the island’s long history of excellence in architecture.

“The simpler and more intuitive you can make something, the better. Most of us know the feeling of being overwhelmed by technical complexity, but lately also by endless possibilities within the virtual world. Values can help here to guide us in what is right—for society and for us personally.”
