Say konnichiwa to good design and sayōnara to bad aesthetics, as this apartment in Bangalore is a lesson in how to use Japanese design effectively

THE NIPPON NARRATIVE

Bringing to life the Japanese philosophy of Wabi Sabi, a 15th century concept that celebrates the beauty of imperfection and impermanence, this, 3,000 sq ft home in Bangalore is where style meets substance. The apartment is designed to create a harmonious symphony between minimalism and warmth, enhancing the feeling of naturalness, rawness, simplicity and the beauty of imperfection.

This design aesthetic follows shizen, a Japanese term that values the intrinsic beauty of nature and the appreciation of things in their natural state. Therefore, we have used organic materials and textures such as wood, concrete and stone, as far as possible in their natural states. Live edge furniture, where the natural edge of the tree is both visible and incorporated into the design of the piece along with branches as decor in its original shape, knots in the wood and wrinkles in the linen are examples of the natural look.
