Wabi sabi tableware
In Praise of Simplicity and Imperfection
What are the origins of wabi-sabi philosophy?
Wabi-sabi is a Japanese philosophy that emerged from Zen Buddhism in the 12th century. It is rooted in simplicity, imperfection, and the transitory nature of things. Initially associated with the art of Japanese tea, it values simple, functional objects that are often marked by time. The term combines "wabi," which evokes rustic simplicity and introspection, and "sabi," which celebrates beauty in wear and tear and the passage of time. This aesthetic is deeply connected to a spiritual worldview, where imperfection reflects the authenticity of life.
What are the principles of wabi-sabi?
The wabi-sabi philosophy is based on key concepts such as impermanence, authenticity, and imperfection. In design, this translates into asymmetrical shapes, raw textures, and natural hues. These characteristics invite us to slow down and appreciate the beauty of modest details. Wabi-sabi celebrates objects marked by their history and encourages a minimalist approach, in opposition to the standardized perfection of modern industrial productions.
Inspired by the Japanese wabi sabi aesthetic, our handcrafted tableware celebrates the beauty of imperfection, raw materials, and the passage of time. Each cup, salad bowl, and plate is shaped by hand in our studio, slowly and intentionally. These everyday pieces carry the uniqueness of the maker’s gesture and the richness of natural textures. Far from industrial production, our approach offers a more sensitive vision of the art of the table — stoneware ceramics with matte glazes, revealing the clay, the light, and subtle contrasts. The studio embraces the philosophy of wabi sabi — simplicity, silence, depth — to create poetic and functional objects that bring presence and meaning to shared meals.
