Minimalism is more than a style: it is a philosophy.
It is about space and light, function and refinement, clarity and precision. In a world of complexity it offers visual tranquillity; it creates calm amidst the chaos of city living.

Perhaps surprisingly, interior minimalism is at its zenith in London, a city normally associated with clutter and chintz. From the elegant restraint of Georgian architecture, furniture and silverware to the pared-down, sophisticated interiors of contemporary designers, London has always displayed a preference for directness and uniformity. This tradition – making use of materials of the highest quality in the simplest and most dramatic ways – gives a seductive edge to London’s minimal design.

London Minimum features the work of some of London’s most celebrated and creative individuals. Outstanding photographs reveal and highlight the harmony of minimal design – the true London style.
