FIKA time and some reading on Wabi Sabi...which in simple terms "is a beauty of things imperfect, impermanent, and incomplete. It is a beauty of things modest and humble. It is a beauty of things unconventional." I've long been fascinated by the Japanese aesthete since growing up there and noticing the careful application of wabi sabi to interior design, ceramics, art, gardens, and life in general. In a world that has come to be filled with and value mass production, I see, admire, and am part of the movement to value the handmade, the organic, the unique and natural. There are many layers to this aesthetic...and I'm looking forward to diving in deeper and seeing how this impacts my work and way of living going forward. // books by Leonard Koren // #wabisabi #wabisabiculture #japaneseaesthetic #unconventionaldesign #designphilosophy #booksforartists
