If you’re looking for a way to add a dash of Christmas spirit to your starkly minimalistic home but are worried a conventional nativity scene may ruin the feng shui of your dwelling, you’re in luck. Designer Émilie Voirin has created a minimal nativity set that foregoes the traditional baby Jesus, Mary, Joseph, wise men, animals, etc. and replaces each with their own wooden block. Ensuring your guests aren’t confused as to why you have a series of wood blocks scattered randomly across your table or bookshelf, each block contains the name of the character it represents, while a special lighter block is reserved to represent the manger. Topping it all off, the entire package comes housed in a convenient decorative box marked simply “Minimal Nativity Set”. It doesn’t get more minimalistically festive than this.
