Minimalissimo Weekly Edit
Minimalissimo in Design
Hello. I hope you've had a good week. A little update on a couple of projects we're working on quietly in the background. A new collection of wallpaper designs, and the fourth edition of the magazine. Or will it be a book? I guess it depends on your definitions of both. Either way, we now have a rough outline, but it's something that we will focus on a lot more after the summer. One thing I can say though, is that it will be very different to the previous three.
Our features over the past week include a mix of audio design, furniture design, and architecture. A particular highlight is Whispering Smith's House B, which strikes a perfect balance of minimalism and comfort. We have also been thinking a lot more about tech, so we decided to curate a minimal software mood. Let me know if tech design is something you'd like to see more of on Minimalissimo. Have a read, take it slow, and enjoy your Sunday.

Features
Vonschloo L8 and L10 Loudspeakers
The design of the L8 and L10 loudspeakers by estragon makes a clear visual statement; it is reduced and focused on material and finish. Taking full advantage of the possibilities and properties of fibre cement, the designers were allowed to create a very compact and stylish speaker.
House B
House B is a remarkably liveable dwelling considering the architect's affinity for high design. Whispering Smith's knock-out home delivers the perfect balance of comfort and minimalism, complete with a lush garden that is too good to miss.
Kite Chair
Under the leadership of prolific product designer Oki Sato, Japanese studio, Nendo, shows no signs of slowing down its creativity. Their latest offering comes in the form of Kite—a minimalist armchair designed for common spaces in offices and hotels.
