Minimalissimo Weekly Edit
Minimalissimo in Design
Hello. I hope you’ve had a good week. It has been exciting one for us after finally announcing our new photo book, Selection. Thanks to those of you who reached out with kind words and support. I’m always grateful for that. We’re just finalising a few more details and then we will be proceeding with the print run. I think the print run will be 1,000 copies in total, which will hopefully begin shipping in late June or early July.
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 one of our most loved architecture studios, Kapsimalis. We also introduced a couple of new moods that capture very different applications of minimalism. Have a read, take it slow, and enjoy your Sunday.

Creator Conversation with Kapsimalis Architects
Kapsimalis Architects is a young architectural firm based in Santorini, Greece, run by Alexandros Kapsimalis and Marianna Kapsimali. Living in one of the most renowned islands of the Mediterranean they are specialised in holiday houses and hotel complexes. We spoke to the duo to discuss their approach to architecture, the importance of living in Santorini, sustainability, and their inspirations in relation to classic Cycladic architecture.

Girombelli Apartment
When we discovered the Italian architect Claudio Silvestrin’s Girombelli Apartment originally designed back in 1999, its relevance and ability to inspire the design of today was clear. This 300 metres-squared apartment in the centre of Milan is characterised by a 14 metre-long satin-glass wall which separates the day and night zones.
