Aesthetic Minimalists
It's all about the optics for the aesthetic minimalist. They don't necessarily own less, but they certainly have less on display.

Essential Minimalists
The essential minimalist is cued in to discovering precisely how much they can live without. They are obsessed with using less, having less and paring down their belongings to only the ultimate basics.

Experiential Minimalists
The hallmark of the experiential minimalist is a belief that the pursuit of experiences is more universally important than the pursuit of things. So while the experientialist does own very few possessions, it's merely a symptom of their chosen lifestyle rather than an outcome of any intentional curation.

Sustainable Minimalists
The sustainable minimalist might just as accurately be described as the eco minimalist. Their focus is on green living: reducing their dependence on, consumption of and harm to the environment

Thrifty Minimalists
They might share some of the same waste-conscious habits as the sustainable types, but the underlying intentions of the thrifty minimalist are totally different. You can find them tending to their gardens, shopping at thrift stores and refinishing furniture, but the end goal is about spending less rather than using less.

Mindful Minimalists
The mindful minimalist is one who gets joy and spiritual enlightenment by ridding themselves of extra things. They practice sensible moderation not for any particular financial, ecological or aesthetic reasons, but purely in search of their own peace of mind.

It is such a treat to speak and think about a world that is decluttered and back to the essentials....but since we are limited with time for today we have to pause here.....while next week we will pickup the session with discussions on different design applications of minimalism.....But until then, we share with you such an amazing expression of groove and tranquil sound by Sade as it shows clearly minimalism trancends the concept of design.....enjoy......
