For an increasing number of devotees,/ less is most definitely more.// Minimalism, the movement /and philosophy that focuses on simplicity,/ is now truly global. While some enjoy minimalist art,/ design and architecture,/ others adopt a minimalist approach to their entire lives.// Whatever the choice, or motive behind it,/ the resulting books, websites, films, products/ and more continue to find a rapt audience.// Love it or hate it, /it is here to stay.// But where did it come from in the first place?
