A distinct edit of captivating furniture where Japanese zen aesthetics embrace creative minimalism .
Sage Living unveils an innovative edit under its label Wa
Bespoke showcasing five distinct furniture accents which draw
inspiration from the Zen principle of Japanese aesthetics Enso- a circle drawn
with a single stroke in a meditative state. Flowy and soft, harmonious and
unpretentious, a balance in asymmetry and irregularity, this alluring
collection evokes a lasting sense of wonder. Designer Duo & Co-
Founders, Keerthi Tummala & Ram Kabadi at the helm of Wa
Bespoke, create elegance, drawing from the central tenets of the wabi-sabi
principles: fukinsei (asymmetry, irregularity), kanso (simplicity), shizen
(natural), yugen (subtly profound grace). Appreciating the dynamics of beauty
in its natural imperfections they have used natural materials like
Travertine, Pyrite, marble, wood, and granite in their real and raw form.
One look at the collection and you are immersed in serenity and
tranquillity that resonates in each piece. A captivating reflection of fluid
designs, simplicity, functionality and closeness to nature through the use of
natural materials. The dynamic beauty of The Tama sofa attracts
and engages with its soft contours, marble ball feet and Boucle upholstery that
exudes cosy warmth. A contemporary silhouette, The Kyoto chair personifies
the yugen aspect, meaning subtle profound grace, where its poetic curves
immerse you into its circle of enlightenment.
Magnificent in its wabi-sabi persona, The
Nara dining table beams unconventional elegance with its
asymmetrically shaped travertine top, where whimsical veins of the stone dance
around creating exquisitely subtle patterns. Supported with inimitable striped
legs made from travertine and granite, the table radiates a spectacular
countenance.
Sauvé artistic aesthetics define The Otsu sideboard that demands attention, as do its unique solid granite rounded cone legs. The unorthodox organic perimeter of The Yoruba Coffee table, where perforated pyrite saddles an intriguing travertine top, is a celebration of imperfections. The fluid and asymmetry in this edit recall the one-stroke sketch and the Enso sense of meditative awareness.
“This collection is about capturing the quintessence of Zen aesthetics,
melding them with original design language, high-quality materials and
handcrafting skills. The products in this collection give an earthy feel
thereby creating a feeling of oneness with oneself and nature”, profess the
Founders, Keerthi Tummala & Ram Kabadi.
