Minimalissimo Weekly Edit
Minimalissimo in Design
Hello. I hope you've had a good week. Behind the scenes we've been continuing work on our new site. We've designed some rough sketches and will soon start jumping into the code to play. One of the main challenges with a new design is dealing with legacy data. In this case, legacy posts. We should have a pretty decent solution for this, but it's always a concern. We have also started work on a new digital art project, which I will let you in on once the idea evolves a little more. Lots happening, but it's lots of fun. Hopefully more to share next week.
Check out some of our recent features and one from the archive below. Have a read, take it slow, and enjoy your Sunday.

Features
Runxuan Textile Office
Rationale Design – Masanori Designs has created the Runxuan Textile Office in China with a curvilinear facade and flowing ceiling design that draws on the qualities of fabric materials. The design draws on the pureness of white colour. It interprets the production process of cloth in an architectural design language, extending the facade into the interior.
Villa Waalre
Designed by Russell Jones, the poetic of time in Villa Waalre lies in its context. The minimal abode is constructed with precast concrete, held together by planks of nearby fir trees. Their seams create a pleat-like curtain to the facade, softening the material with an illusion of flowing fabric covering all sides.

Swiss Applied Design
Communication through objective simplicity was and perhaps still is a guiding principle of Swiss Design. The goal being clarity, order, and a universally understood visual language. Remove all that is unnecessary and emphasise only the necessary.
