Wabi sabi is a feeling, more than a concept, that can be found in classical Japanese aesthetics: flower arrangement, literature, philosophy, poetry, tea ceremony, Zen gardens, etc. Wabi sabi goes against contemporary over-consumption, but also encourages simplicity and authenticity in everything.

Unlike the Chinese art of Feng Shui, which celebrates symmetry and balance, Wabi Sabi design goes in the opposite direction with asymmetry, being one of its main principles. This further embraces the imperfection and acceptance.

Since wabi sabi defines beauty in its ephemeral nature, a single flower in a vase perfectly embodies this concept. Based on harmony between asymmetry, depth, and space, wabi sabi brings out the beauty of a pure floral composition.

We find the idea of abandoning "perfect" and even "good enough" irresistibly tempting. Life -the fingerprints, scars, and laugh lines-is itself perfectly imperfect, and I can embrace the beauty in that.

With our pieces, the quiet moments will be more profound because our natural materials, textures and color palette induce comfort and relaxation states of mind, for which we crave all day long.

Start to embrace this concept of wabi sabi—that imperfect objects are not to be hidden, they are to be displayed with pride—and you’ll slowly begin to realize how you’re dissolving that image of perfection, and replacing it with a newconcept of beauty: The entirety of you.

Wabi-sabi reminds us that there is great beauty in broken things because scars tell a story. They demonstrate fortitude, wisdom, and resilience, earned through the passage of time. Why hide these imperfections or golden scars when we are meant to celebrate them?

Buying new things is sometimes necessary. Circumstances change, children come and go, we move houses (and lose things in transit), get new hobbies and so on. But when shopping, consider a wabi-sabi approach and opt for sustainable, high quality, handmade or vintage products over mass produced products with a planned obsolescence.

Embracing wabi-sabi will do more than create a pleasant environment at home. It focuses on gratitude for what we already have, rather than always yearning for something new. Creating a powerful shift in perspective that helps us feel at peace and content in the current moment.

Perhaps you have a rusty kitchen knife which has been passed through the generations (which appears a bit rusty and chipped). Instead of being embarrassed by its less than pristine condition, you should value it because of its imperfect nature (and sharpen it). Those signs of use are a story and mark the passage of time; which won’t come with a brand new knife.

An ancient form of art stems from wabi-sabi, whereby you mend broken objects with gold fillings, giving them “golden scars.” It’s known as Kintsugi.
Think of a bowl or teapot that has been dropped onto the floor. What would you do with it? You’d most probably pick up the pieces and throw them away. But not with Kintsugi. Here, you bring the pieces of broken pottery back together and glue them with liquid gold. Wouldn’t that make them imperfect, permanently and inevitably flawed, but somehow, more beautiful?
