Wabi Sabi: Embracing Imperfection and Transience in Modern Design

Japanese minimalism, which has held a prominent place within design aesthetics for a long time, lies at the heart of Wabi Sabi—both a worldview and an aesthetic based on the acceptance of impermanence and imperfection. In recent years, Wabi Sabi has sparked a growing desire for raw interiors: modern spaces that bridge East and West, soothing the soul with their beautiful simplicity and eclectic decor.

This book features around 30 international projects that illustrate this modern approach to Wabi Sabi, ranging from homes and apartments to commercial spaces, restaurants, and hotels, created by some of the most influential architects and interior designers in the world.
