Möbius by Rem D. Koolhaas
Rem D. Koolhaas knows this. Reeling and heartbroken from a recent breakup, Koolhaas threw his energies into making a shoe with the aesthetic inspiration taken from his design background and upbringing by father, famed architect, of the same name. Attempting to “down[size] architecture to its smallest and most vulnerable scale…of a woman’s foot,” the Möbius Hi by United Nude was born. The minimalist sandal owes its name to the geometric surface, the möbius. A möbius strip is a simple closed band that can be twisted to create a variety of loops. It is often used throughout art and architecture, it could have even inspired Koolhaas Sr. in his Educatorium building in Utrecht, Netherlands.

Ceramic Stereo by Victor Johansson
Ceramic Stereo is a minimalist design created by England-based designer Victor Johansson. This concept is attempting to make wireless connectivity and communication more graspable by mapping intangible actions, functions and settings to real-world tangible actions. The observation that led to this concept comes from audio consumption and more specific the mismatch between where content usually resides today (in smartphones) and what is being used to amplify the playback (stereos and speakers).
