Minimalissimo | Minimalist Design Magazine

Minimalissimo is an independent print and digital magazine founded in 2009, dedicated to minimalism. Under the leadership of Carl Barenbrug, we showcased the best examples of selected art, architecture, interior design, furniture, lighting, and product design. We don't have a profound purpose, but we love our work and hope you enjoy our gallery and editorial. It may inspire you to create something on your own, share designs with your own network, or help you find the projects you want.

Minimalissimo is also a creative studio dedicated to web and product design. We use a unique minimal visual language to convey value and honesty. We can design products internally and collaboratively. Therefore, if you want to help us create something very beautiful, please contact us and let us make it happen.

Declaration

We plan to reflect who we are and what kind of person we want to be. We are guided by the principles of minimalism and simplicity. We often appreciate barbarism and utilitarianism. Our vision is unwavering, focusing on the future but respecting the past. We find beauty in softness and primitiveness. This is our taste. This is our creative platform. A platform to showcase our interpretation and appreciation of minimalism in art and design.
