I think a combination of simplicity and minimilasim is what you are aiming for here, and I like it. I would suggest adding sustainability to this as a dimension to consider. So seek for simple designs that require minimal resources and can last for a long time.
I think products and services that fit all three will attract a range of customers, not just minimalist.
I agree with the previous post from Sabrina and Melora that we dont need more stuff to buy.
I love the idea of hosting minimalism retreats where people are disconneted from devices & connect as community that experiences a minimalist adventure together. I would be happy to contribute. If this catches your interest dont hesitate to reach out to me.
All the best from Switerland - which also has nice retreat places ;-)!
Thanks for the comment. Retreats would be amazing. Obviously a huge challenge logistically to put this together. Also, none of our team have any experience with retreats, so not sure how viable that is without hiring people. So a nice idea, but probably unlikely.
I love the direction you’re exploring. Personally, I don’t think we need more “stuff” in our lives, but I do believe in supporting small artisans and thoughtfully made goods. If you do create a collection, I’d love to see it prioritise craftsmanship and sustainability—pieces that are built to last and that truly earn their place in our lives.
Yes, this is the plan, but it's also something we'd need to feel very confident about before investing time and resources into it. There's no point in us spending a lot of money to produce beautifully crafted pieces if the community doesn't get behind it. So maybe crowdfunding something like this could be the smartest move. Not sure. Something to consider, for sure.
I understand your need to sell something to earn money, however, it's a bad idea. We do not need to produce more stuff. There's more than enough great design out there to build a beautiful elegant minimalist wardrobe, home, etcetera. Perhaps build something that can help mitigate how climate change affects poor people in the parts of the world that are hit the hardest instead?
Thanks for the thought. We'll give that some thought. Not sure what that something could be and that could be bootstrapped or crowdfunded, so if you have something specific in mind, we'll take it on board. Otherwise, we'll do a bit of brainstorming. Thanks again.
I found your Pakt bag suggestion very useful from your film. So to have other suggestions of minimal and useful items, can help cut through the noise out there, helping to buy with intentionality when an item is needed next
"Uniform apparel. Everyday carry. Desk essentials. All stripped back to the essentials. Made in small batches. Sustainably produced." Ahh The Haven for Minimalists. Pure Support.
I really struggle with the idea of producing more stuff. Especially from the perspective of minimalism. I understand your thought process- I think- but it's a hard no for me. Right now on this earth is billlions of times more stuff than the world population will ever be able to use. Crating a "minimalist line of stuff" is only going to add to that.
Appreciate the thoughts. Hard to argue with that. But to counter, it would be the our most desirable method of monetizing. It would also be a creative outlet for us.

By reading just a little about you, I think you are promoting SIMPLICITY. Isn't it?
Yes, simplicity is the need of today. For most of the people ignore it by saying 'it is not trendy', but we must make it a trend.
Thank you.
I’d say yes. I need clothes and backpacks when they break and i’d rather buy from you than from fast fashion shops.
This would also be a way to support you
Thanks a lot. That's encouraging to hear.

Thanks. We'll give it more thought of course. But if there's support for this direction, we'll likely trial it.
