Minimalissimo Weekly Edit
Minimalissimo in Design
Hello. I hope you've had a good week. Felt like a quick one. It has been really exciting to see the Selection book reach various parts of the world. It never ceases to amaze me that we have such an international reader base with a common appreciation for minimal design. I love that. Alongside the continued curation of designs on our site, we're slowly establishing more stockists and we're also planning our next projects which I'll update you on soon. Looking forward to the next few months.
Our recent features include remote architecture that fully embraces the natural landscape. We visit the Greek Cycladic Island of Kea and Southern Arizona to celebrate a couple of minimalist concrete structures. In our featured mood we go in search of finding the ideal office chair. We actually need to upgrade our office space, so it was important research. Have a read, take it slow, and enjoy your Sunday.
— Carl Barenbrug, Creative Director
Features
Diagonal House
A summer residence designed by En Route Architecture for a single person, Diagonal House is situated within a secluded natural area of the Greek Cycladic Island of Kea. The strong topographical changes of the surrounding landscape represent, at the same time, the conceptual source and guideline for the architectural idea.
McNeal 020
Under the vast sky of Southern Arizona in the US, McNeal 020 by Atelier David Telerman burrows into the expansive desert like an invisible monument. Its faint glow can only be seen at night, where the emitting light reflects the pool of stars above. The concrete pavilion rests like an architectural vessel modestly observing the changes of time.

Colo Armchair
The Colo Armchair, designed by Brazilian 3D artist and product designer Maurício Coelho, is inspired by the desire for a piece of furniture that reminds us of the comfort of a mother’s embrace. In search of a structure that reminds us of the act of being carried in the arms, in suspension, aligned with the goal of presenting an uncomplicated and harmonic design to the eyes.
