Description

Takes as its founding principle the Japanese concept of wabi-sabi, advocating the beauty to be found in imperfection, impermanence and the authentic. Importantly, this is done without losing sight of the benefits of living in the 21st century, where designers are merging digital technology with the handmade to produce items that combine the best of both worlds. Explores an establish aesthetic in a new way, as illustrated by the homes and studios of international and Australian creatives. Embraces current design objects alongside well-worn ones, and features interiors that mix comfort, design and an offbeat beauty.
