Wabi-sabi. Imperfect is perfect

The other leading influence on us -- along with tactility -- is Wabi-sabi. Wab-sabi is a Japanese aesthetic philosophy that embraces impermanence and authenticity in design and art. It is often described as finding beauty in the imperfect, incomplete, and unconventional.

The term "wabi" refers to simplicity, humility, and austerity, while "sabi" refers to the beauty that comes with age and the passage of time. Together, they embody the idea of finding beauty in the natural world, including objects that are flawed, weathered, or aged.

Wabi-sabi emphasizes the importance of living in the moment and appreciating the beauty of the world around us. It encourages a focus on the essence of things, rather than their external appearance, and emphasizes the beauty that can be found in simplicity and minimalism.

Büroblume, Markus Kniebes

In art and design, wabi-sabi often manifests in the use of natural materials such as wood, stone, and ceramics, as well as the incorporation of asymmetry, roughness, and simplicity in design. It is also reflected in the practice of kintsugi, where broken pottery is repaired with gold, emphasizing the beauty of imperfection and the idea that nothing is truly ever broken beyond repair.

What we strive to do is combine the natural with the new robotic age. We take simple forms from nature and technical material like titanium and stainless, rubber, silicone merging them into a dichotomoy of simplicity yet confusion.
