Japandi Philosophies
Japandi is a hybrid of Wabi-sabi from Japan, and Hygge from Denmark.
Wabi-sabi
Japan | wabi-sabi
Wabi-sabi, as summarized by Richard Powell, nurtures all that is authentic by acknowledging three simple realities:
~ nothing lasts,
~ nothing is finished,
~ nothing is perfect.
Wabi-sabi is often condensed to "wisdom in natural simplicity."
wabi originally referred to the loneliness of living in nature, remote from society;
sabi meant "chill", "lean" or "withered".
Around the 14th century, these meanings began to change, taking on more positive connotations.
After centuries of incorporating Buddhist and Chinese influences wabi-sabi evolved into distinctly Japanese.
Wabi-sabi is a Japanese philosophy which is often condensed to “wisdom in natural simplicity.”
Wabi-sabi is a calming philosophy reminding us of the beauty in being in harmony with nature. Wabi-sabi as a design inspiration creates calm, serene and inviting interiors by balancing minimalism & nature. 😌🌱💕
