About Mono-ha (Lee Ufan, 1968)
Mono-ha stripped art back to the encounter between unaltered matter and the space it occupies. A boulder resting on a glass plate, timber leaning against a gallery wall — interventions so quiet they feel like observations. This design system channels that restraint: river-stone surfaces, steel-gray accents, and vast emptied space where a single element can breathe.
The palette is the palette of things themselves — concrete gray, earth brown, the off-white of uncoated glass. Typography is contemplative and slow, set small in Cormorant Garamond with generous vertical rhythm. Every layout is a composition: one object, placed with intent, surrounded by ma.
