'Wilhelm Wagenfeld'
W Wabi-Sabi Wabi-Sabi refers to Japanese aesthetic of things that are imperfect, impermanent, and incomplete. In part it is about the acceptance of the natural cycle of growth, decay, and death. The term “wabi” refers to simplicity, being in tune with nature, and unmaterialistic, while “sabi” refers to the pleasure to be found in things that are old and faded and finds beauty in decay for example.

The Japanese practices of ikebana, bonsai, gardens, and tea ceremonies all make the connection between design and Zen Buddhist philosophy. References and further reading De, Mente B.
