Just some weeks ago, at gaming conference E3 2016, the new minimalist Xbox One S was presented and we had to celebrate the amazing work by Microsoft’s design team.

Its slim and compact design, a significant 40% smaller than the previous version, is lineal and clean, and features only the essential elements on the front. It can also be stood horizontally or vertically, with an included stand. Meanwhile, the white shell provides a very elegant finish to the video game console.

In addition to the box itself, the Xbox Wireless Controller was slightly redesigned, featuring a sleeker and more streamlined form, also in white and with a textured grid.

Are you also seeing a slight design resemblance to the work of Dieter Rams and Braun? Either way, it is a commendable piece of design that embodies quintessential minimalism.
