"Everything should be made as simple as possible, but not one bit simpler" – says Einstein. What sleek has to say about decadence, opulence, purism and nudity is collected in this issue. From Mexico City´s monied class to the most luxurious salt; from sadomachism to minimal wall-boxes. Photographers and artist such as Henrike Stahl, John Armleder, Donald Judd and Julian Opie are included - and Tom Sachs and Jil Sander discuss her unique perspective on luxury and simplicity. The sleek team.
