“The deepest meaning of design is to build ourselves.” – A G Fronzoni
New forms of Minimalism Life
Evolving to find a deeper understanding of minimalism
We find ourselves in the midst of a transformative journey. In fact, it's more of an evolution of what you can explore on minimalism.com. The guiding principle of Minimalism extends far beyond living a simple and intentional lifestyle; it encompasses various aspects of life, artistic expressions, and design disciplines. We believe these diverse areas should be represented, offering greater value to our readers. Quality content should be inspirational, educational, and entertaining. That's precisely what we're striving for with a brand new website and a team of contributors set to launch in 2024. We'd be delighted for you to be part of this new chapter. We're actively seeking voluntary contributors to help us create resources in the realms of art, design, and lifestyle, turning minimalism.com into a valuable tool.
Here’s a few WIP sketches as a preview of what we’re building:
01 – Book
One of our creative initiatives is the making of a print-on-demand and ebook titled Inside Minimalism Vol.2. The book is a collection of 50 short essays on simple living by a small team of writers from different backgrounds, but who all share a deep appreciation for minimalism as a way of life. It is not a guide book or rule book. Rather, we simply hope it will inspire, motivate, and encourage you.
02 – Share your experiences
Do you have an interesting story you would like to share on minimalism.com? We want to read about it. Here, you have the opportunity write about your experiences and contribute to our journal.
03 – Brands anchored by simplicity and sustainability
Minimalism can be about frugality and owning less, but it can also be about supporting ethical brands with sustainability at their core (less but better). Here’s several that you might be interested learning more about.
