AA.VV
As a lifestyle, minimalism embodies simplicity, neatness and elegance. By the use of minimal colour and incident, each element of the design comes into focus in its own right, as well as part of the whole. The unnecessary or superfluous is eliminated (back to basics), and the overall result is one of harmony and visual refinement. In today''s complex, bustling society, minimalism acts as balm and refreshment to the spirit, and, as such, has become a philosophy of life as well as a school of design. The editors of Contemporary Minimalist Spaces have joined with experienced designers to select over 50 minimalist interiors and construction designs from all over the world. A wide range of minimalist spaces is featured, from hotels, offices, exhibition, and retail areas to smaller-scale residential projects. We believe that this book, with its high-quality illustrations and detailed descriptions, will act as a valuable reference to enable the readers to experience the essence of minimalism.
