“This was a very typical time. I was single. All you needed was a cup of tea, a light, and your stereo, you know, and that’s what I had.”
—Steve Jobs in 1982 by Diana Walker (via: jedsundwall)
I’ve always loved this photo.
I’ve just moved into a new apartment, and took the opportunity to act upon my love for minimalism in furnishing and designing it.
Too perfect.
I have the same desk*. Alas its not facing a three-sided ceiling hight window.
* VIKA AMON. As minimal as a desk can get. Mine’s twice the length (78 inch) that runs along the edge of the wall; I can slide between areas (iMac, reading, laptop, books) seamlessly.
It’s pretty amazing to look at such minimal version of their fully realized figures and still retain the visual essence intact.
UPDATE: Come to think of it - much of it is the brain - that’s so uniquely wired to recognized shapes, patterns and associate them with ‘familiar’ objects - apply emotional attributes to things. And it does so with such innate brilliance that its often escapes us.
