I was just playing with something similar after drilling the door handle holes out of 29 doors, I was left with these "Tinker toy" like wooden circles. I started playing with different ways of joining them into objects....
Then I found this. http://www.carwangallery.com/objects.phpAnd more of their work.

The preceding series is exquisite, and I appreciate greatly your posting them here. Inspiring stuff. Like you, I do appreciate the minimalist expressions. I think sometimes it takes great restraint not to overstate an idea. -

I am very impressed at the way many of today's designers hone in on the "idea", and then work through it to come up with such elegant solutions, and as a consequence such functionally beautiful objects.
