Welcome to Minimalist Products! This page is designed to provide you a soft landing on what we have to offer. First a word or two on why Minimalist Products exist. Minimalism is quite an ambiguous term. We saw a need for a platform that would look at this topic from different angles, instead of trying to cram it into a single narrow space.
Main Categories
At the moment, we have three main categories we have divided our content into: Minimalist Products, Financial Minimalism, and Focus & Productivity. This categorization may and probably will change as time goes on. Just as minimalism evolves and finds new avenues, same is the thing with this platform. If you want to go through our content on a wide scope and without these categorisations, click here. In case you want to learn more about the main categories, please read below.
Minimalist Products
This section covers material as well as non-material minimalist goods. Tangible minimalist products optimally comprise of much more than just minimal aesthetic. “Perfect” minimalist products could be something that fulfills all ten of Dieter Ram´s Principles for Good Design. In short, a great minimalist product is easy to use and understand, environmentaly friendly, long-lasting, good-looking, honest and isn´t a distraction.
Non-material minimalist goods on the other hand include services and thoughts that help you simplify your life. Spotify is a prime example of a non-material minimalist good that can simplify your life by giving you an access to a huge library of music and provide an opportunity yu to get rid of stacks of CDs.
