Inspiration: The design of this project is inspired by the Japanese aesthetic of Wabi-sabi, which emphasizes finding beauty in imperfection. Through simple and rustic design techniques, a tranquil and ethereal spatial atmosphere is created. Wabi-sabi is a concept that emphasizes finding beauty in imperfection and accepting the natural cycle and the passage of time. A lot of wood and bamboo materials are used in the design. These natural materials are not only environmentally friendly, but also enable users to feel the warmth and comfort of nature. The application of wood and bamboo is a direct reflection of natural beauty. Over time, they will present a unique aging process, which is exactly what Wabi-sabi aesthetics advocates.
