Minimalism has become a quotidian term today. Even though the minimalist movement is resurgent, many are alienated with the basic concept. However, the meaning of minimalism is subjective and hard to define, but its basic philosophy is straightforward - Minimalism is the intentional promotion of what we value the most by striking out the distractions. Minimalism is not about reducing the amount of everything. On the contrary, it is about reducing distractions to maximize more important pursuits.
Minimalism advocates “less is more”. In other words, the point of minimalism is that more isn’t always better. Sometimes enough is better.
As more and more urban Indians become well-traveled, their exposure to global design, sustainability and minimalistic philosophy influences their lifestyles and they tend to seek simplicity. Also, it is about the moment in which one realizes that relentless accumulation of things is not as satisfying as it is believed to be and the fact that quality always overpowers quantity. A lot of brands are actively adopting minimalist practices in order to achieve the desired commercial prospects as it refocuses resources towards the most significant areas of a business, removing unnecessary processes and products.

For Urban Zen, minimalism isn’t just a wave or a zeitgeist. It is a way of life, a philosophy.
