Minimalissimo Weekly Edit
Minimalissimo in Design
Hello. I hope you’ve had a good week. It was an interesting one for us. We finally revisited our collaboration with Berger & Föhr for our diptych gradient paintings. We paused this project over the past six months for obvious reasons, but it feels like a good time to look at making these beautiful artworks available. There are only 25 sets, so I am quite excited about who will get their hands on them. We are also looking to finalise our phone wallpaper collection with Studio Lenzing next week, so these will be available for download very soon.
Our features over the past week include a sleek space-saving and versatile desk design by Keiji Ashizawa, we get under the skin of 2BOOKS DESIGN’s minimalist Pan House in Hsinchu, and in our featured mood, we celebrate the simplicity of tea. Have a read, take it slow, and enjoy your Sunday.

Features
Rail Desk
Rail Desk, made for Scandinavian design house MENU by the Japanese designer Keiji Ashizawa, is an oak and steel wall-mounted design that explores the way in which we use space and how design elements can be adapted to serve different functions.
Pan House
Pan House was constructed in an old community in Hsinchu, Taiwan. Its architectural style belongs to that of the traditional terrace house, which shares the same exterior construction and interior layout with the buildings in the neighbourhood. Yet it encompasses a true minimalist sensibility with a strong focus on natural light.

Kub Basin Series
Milan-based architect Victor Vasilev produced the seamless creature that is the Kub basin in 2010. The seamless nature of this piece, and the way that it has an almost floating ability is sculpturally beautiful.
