Minimalissimo Weekly Edit
Minimalissimo in Design
Hello. I hope you've had a good week. Quite a week it was. It was fairly quiet from our perspective though, but we have prepared our next creator conversation. This one is with Oliver Grabes, Head of Design at Braun, which we'll be publishing tomorrow. So keep an eye out for that. Besides this, we're really just starting the year (in full lockdown) with some research and outlining a rough schedule of our upcoming projects, such as the photo book and the release of our 100–50–0 diptych paintings.
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 a close look at New Order; a brilliant modular furniture system by Stefan Diez. We discover a sense of escapism through the super simple Impluvium Cabin in Chile. And in our featured mood, we curate some of our favourite minimalist book designs. Have a read, take it slow, and enjoy your Sunday.
— Carl Barenbrug, Creative Director
Features
New Order 2.0
New Order is an open-ended system comprising interconnecting aluminium parts and focused on versatility. Designed by Stefan Diez for HAY, all elements are modular, enabling infinite combinations and applications, while achieving a sustainable balance between functional variety and price.
Impluvium Cabin
Escapism comes in many forms these days, and escaping to a beautiful environment is perhaps one of the most timeless. As we continue to trudge through the winter, intriguing places are a welcome antidote to the mundane sameness. With a desirable destination, gorgeous scenery and picture-perfect design, Impluvium Cabin checks all the boxes for the perfect escape.
