What is special about the Wabi-Sabi concept and what should you pay attention to if you want to furnish your home in the Wabi-Sabi style? The origin of Wabi-Sabi lies in Japanese history and stands for the aesthetics and the “hidden” beauty of things - which can sometimes only be recognized at second glance. It can also be seen as an aesthetic of solitude and tranquility. In this context, the wabi stands for the loneliness, the silence and the calm that a room can express. In addition to this, the Sabi symbolizes the age or the impermanence of things that are absolutely desirable and may be seen. The style of Wabi-Sabi shows itself above all through its austere simplicity, authenticity and grounding. The acceptance of the natural and the true is the basic requirement of Wabi-Sabi and reflects the beauty concept of the Wabi-Sabi style. It is about the principle "it is not the obvious beauty that is the highest but what is veiled. Not the immediate shine of the sun but the broken one of the moon."
