Japandi: shared aesthetics and influences
What is Japandi? We live in the era of self-care, we are encouraged to live by nature, become grounded, rooted, calmer individuals….Japandi is a marriage, where Japanese and Scandinavian aesthetics, where beauty is found within the simple, the natural, the raw and unrefined. Weight shifts towards the use of sustainable materials, embracing their imperfect state rather than a vie for perfection.
This visual guide works in tandem with an onsite exhibition, which was held over across seas a while ago. We can’t all visit, so this catalog allows us to view what we missed. Expect to discover an eclectic mix of curative genius, bringing together artists who work with fibre and modern craft methods, combining natural materials with a nature founded colour palette. This is no Macdonald’s pace art - this is about process and matter - strength in the pace of the slothful.
Discover the inclusion of twigs, grasses and even tree bar, with no recycled polyester in sight.
Cosset yourself in a blanket and a hot chocolate and let this catalog inspire you to appreciate the simple joys of life - the natural world which lies beneath us, around us, in us.
