    When you alnost can’t have anything but ‘minimalism’ (not sure if most of the things that you can get count as minimalist and not just extremely utilitarian) it kind of destroys the feeling.

      Definitely utilitarian. Stuff that’s actually minimalist requires thoughtful design and precision construction and is therefore actually pretty fucking expensive.

      Idk, I am not an artist or anything. I just look at stuff and like different things in different moments and settings, like everyone else.

      I am just sick of the disrespect for art in general. I am not a good critic but I am good enough to acknowledge that art is not only made for me and my taste.

        I mean yeah there is some art in pure utility if you like such things, but most modern consruction is very bland, there isn’t even cheap ‘unnecessary’ elements, no ornaments, zero decorative elements that were commonplace even after ww2.
