I love minimalism.

I love Japanese Minimalism.

And I think they've figured out something that one else has:

Their use of texture inspired by nature.

Wood. Bamboo. Silk. Paper. Straw.

The kinds of things that connect us back to earth.

Their focus is less about "design",

but more about keeping things organic and simple.

I still like the minimalism that's embedded in products like Apple.

I call this industrial minimalism.

It's great. I love it too.

But sometimes, I want something that reminds me of home.

Something that feels natural like traditional Japanese designs.

Something that feels earthy —— like Cork Boards.
