How to experience the world through a Wabi Sabi Philosophy
We are in a time of change, we need to learn to perceive the world in a different way. It is the ideal moment to take time, to reflect, observe and listen.
Wabi Sabi is a Japanese aesthetic current, that appreciates the imperfect and incomplete. It is a state of the heart and its secret is to see the world through it and not through the logical mind. It invites you to live life more relaxed, to find calm and to enjoy it. It shows you little by little, that beauty can be found in the places you least expect, experiencing the true beauty of nature and accepting the cycle of life.
A vision of the world inspired by the Wabi Sabi philosophy brings us calm in moments of chaos. It gives us new perspectives to face problems and make better decisions. By living the present, we will cherish the beauty of the simple and everyday things, that due to our fast pace of life, we are not able to appreciate.
A home inspired by the Wabi Sabi philosophy is a simple, deep, sincere and timeless place. Where the experience you want to create for yourself, for your family and friends is captured. It is a space of authentic inspiration, where each piece, each object, each detail, transmits something to you and evokes a memory. It unconsciously produces a feeling of happiness and tranquility every time you are around. Never old-fashioned, and true to nature.
Simple Atmospheres & The Beauty of the Past
Harmony, stillness and a certain nostalgia for the old. These spaces are sincere and intimate, a refuge to cope with daily stress.
Each space has to convey the feeling of serenity and calm, so it is necessary to avoid excesses of color, accessories and furniture.
The past has an added value and an incalculable beauty, the elements age with a special charm over the years. It is common to use objects and furniture inherited or from other times with a great sentimental load; imperfect but they tell wonderful stories.
Imperfection & Organic Shapes
Running away from perfection, the authenticity of life must be reflected in our home.
The geometric lines are not precise and the edges are not defined. Imperfect materiality is the ideal of beauty. Wabi Sabi worships the beauty of organic imperfections, through organic and more rounded shapes, avoiding precise geometric shapes, straight lines, defined and refined edges.
Natural & Neutral Textures and Colors
Raw colors, sands, grays, blacks, browns, earthy greens and oxides inspired by nature prevail. The color range aims to achieve a certain timelessness, while at the same time transmitting a feeling of peace and tranquility.
The walls do not have to be smooth and polished. On the contrary, the natural roughness of the materials is what contributes its authenticity.
Handcrafted & Natural Materials
The Wabi Sabi style interiors seek to introduce traditional objects and handcrafted pieces. Try to find the perfect combination of rough and soft natural materials to give it the warmth you need. Use natural stone, untreated wood, clay, ceramic, or iron, and on the other hand, soft textures such as linen, wool, cotton, jute or silk.
Lightning
Do not be afraid of artificial light. It is important to create peaceful, tranquil and authentic spaces. Even cozy fireplaces and the warmth of its fire, help to achieve an interesting contrast with the neutral tone of the walls and the textures of the materials.
