the growing popularity of minimalism in the design interior is documented in this book by an impressive report of the most recent works of representative international designers.

principally private interiors are examined, but the impact of the minimalist concept on mode, architecture, dance, music and other creative areas are also taken in consideration. since the term "minimalism" was defined in the sixties by a small group of artists in new york, this tenor has started a great expansion.

in this book interiors are shown of international architects like alvaro siza, john pawson, peter marino, alberto kalach and others; but also of belgian architects like vincent van duysen, claire bataille and paul ibens.
