I love it, it so perfectly fits how I like to work and create. I have always been drawn to weathered objects that have character, and symbolize a sense of timelessness and history, each with their own story and season.

The fundamental principle of the wabi-sabi concept is a connection to earth and natural materials. It focuses on organic textures and earthy hues. I feel a strong connection with nature when working with wood. Texture imitates a living earth, while the soft scent of wooden surfaces takes me away to the forest.

Bringing a little wabi-sabi into your place can warm it up, making the atmosphere of your home more earthy and natural. In addition, the beauty of the wabi-sabi style is that it’s always evolving and something special and unique.
