Minimalissimo Weekly Edit
Minimalissimo in Design
Hello. I hope you’ve had a good week. Closed doors, misty mornings, and dark evenings tend not to set the best mood, but it’s nothing a dose of fresh air, music, coffee, and exercise can’t remedy. I’m trying convince myself more than anything, but it helps to be positive. It has been a fairly quiet week here, but we have continued to work on a couple of projects that we’ll be unveiling in the next couple of weeks, as well as delivering your weekly dose of design inspiration. And we have some solid features lined up for December to end the year as best we can.
Our features over the past week include a return to our creator conversations as we interviewed technology company, Palm. We visit the idyllic Zamora Province in Spain to celebrate the architectural design of a house in a vineyard. And in our featured mood, we showcase a minimal projector that successfully demonstrates unobtrusive design. Have a read, take it slow, and enjoy your Sunday.

Features
Creator Conversation with Palm
Palm is a phone that is designed to enable your life, not distract from it. We spoke to Palm’s cofounders Howard Nuk and Dennis Miloseski to discuss the philosophy behind the brand, some of the design decisions behind the phone’s hardware and software, and what they have learned since the launch of the Palm phone.
Casa en un Viñedo
Atop the sloping hills of expansive vineyards in the Zamora Province of Spain lies a luscious area of land where a verdant grove meets a freshly mown lawn in the winter sun. Resting modestly is a concrete form with transparent connections with nature. This structure is Casa en un Viñedo by Spanish design studio CSO Arquitectura.
Tempo
Tempo is reimagining the email client as a place to help you focus and build better routines. Designed around minimalist ideals—a calming interface sets the tone for a set of unique features to help remove email anxiety and let you feel in control.

Shibuya Apartment 402
Lying in the residential area between Shibuya and Daikanyama, this apartment of 34 square metres is rather irregular. To be devoid of furniture and home furnishes in presenting images, the architects intend to emphasise the shapes and forms of architecture, while giving a blank canvas to draw out one’s imagination on endless possibilities of spatial occupation.
