DOSSIER

There’s nothing like an empty, minimally designed space to make you want to clear out your entire apartment and start fresh. I have been KonMari-ing my life for the past two years, but I still find myself surrounded by things, no matter how much I donate, sell or throw away. Do you have this problem? Anyway, I thought the Jil Sander Flagship in Milan offered great inspiration to clear your mind, or your home for the new year. I can’t say that I will be THIS minimalistic, but it does spark ideas for a piece of furniture I am designing for our kitchen. The thoughtful use of space, movement of lines, contrasting textures and natural materials are all noteworthy details to consider.
