About the theme:

September’s Theme is Simplicity.

In the design traditions of Scandinavian and Japanese minimalism, the paring down of possessions creates a greater sense of tranquility and ease. Simplicity invites us to imagine how rich we might feel when we make do with less.

Where can you exercise restraint and streamline excess? How will you find clarity amidst chaos?

Our Gothenburg chapter chose this month’s exploration of Simplicity, Jessica Jämting illustrated the theme.
