Minimalist interiors

Brief

Minimalist interior design (and architecture) value simplicity over ornamentation, and see value in the essential qualities of common materials. Inspired by Japanese design, itself rooted in the tradition of Zen Buddhism, and seen by many as an antidote to the chaos of the urban environment. We are encouraged nowadays to seek minimalism in our own lives, and focus on fewer, more essential things. Here we explore how this idea has been exemplified within buildings around the world.
