Product Description
Synopsis
Wabi-sabi is translated simply, the art of imperfect beauty, an appreciation for natural processes. Deeply rooted in Zen Buddhism, wabi-sabi is the marriage of wabi, meaning humble, and sabi, which connotes beauty in the natural progression of time. Wabi-sabi is everything that today's sleek, mass-produced, technology-saturated world isn't. It is understated and flawed: the much-loved chipped vase, the old wooden coffee table baring the scars of a well-lived-in house, the mystery inherent in a tarnished goblet. In "The Wabi-Sabi House", author Robyn Griggs Lawrence recounts the rich history of this emerging design trend, and reveals countless ways to recognize and create the wabi-sabi aesthetic at home. From blocking out unwanted noise and removing clutter, to crafting homemade accents and learning to accept their subtle flaws, "The Wabi-Sabi House", is packed with encouraging and instructive DIY tips. But it is so much more than a decorator's handbook. "The Wabi-Sabi House" also encompasses lifestyle elements that are fundamental in a society where no one has time to think and everyone wants it yesterday.Lawrence teaches us to slow down and find joy, comfort, and beauty in what may seem ordinary. Through thoughtful prose and warm, sepia photographs, "The Wabi-Sabi House" celebrates the imperfections that make us human and turn a house into a welcoming home.
