At Takoy Windows by Design, we know that home is where we seek shelter from the world and aim to create peaceful and protected spaces for ourselves and our families. As more time has been spent indoors and at home, many feel a growing yearning again for a better connection to the outside world. Our window treatments are one way we connect our indoor spaces with the beauty of nature and the great outdoors.
It’s no surprise that modern designers have a growing respect for the Japanese philosophy of wabi-sabi design enriched through a better understanding of this unique lifestyle perspective. It combines the “wabi,” or the ability to see beauty in simple things, and “sabi,” or reflection on the passage of time and the impermanence of all things.
The embodiment of wabi-sabi requires the practitioner to stay utterly in the moment and accept the progression of natural cycles. There is no such thing as perfection in an impermanent world, so pursuing this unobtainable ideal is not prioritized—instead, beauty can be found in imperfection. The end goal of embracing wabi-sabi is to heartfully appreciate the grace and beauty of transience, connect to the natural flow of the world, and be happier in the present moment.
Seema Krish, a San Francisco-based textile designer, is well known for her aesthetic and use of wabi-sabi in her design. The global motifs and hand-painted techniques that run through her work reflect her inspiration drawn from the cultures, people, and places Krish has met and visited over the years.
