Perfect Imperfect. Wabi-sabi and new creative interior design
expressions: Perfect Imperfect is a stunning collection of homes
and studios of creatives from all over the world, with
thought-provoking text by Karen McCartney and stunning visuals by
Sharyn Cairns and Glen Proebstel. Perfect Imperfect takes as its
founding principle the Japanese concept of wabi-sabi. Wabi-Sabi
advocates the beauty to be found in imperfection, impermanence and
the authentic. Importantly this is done without losing sight of the
benefits of living in the 21st century; where designers are merging
digital technology with the handmade, rethinking how to use space
and accommodating the natural world. Creating a new interior design
vocabulary: As the collaborative process for creating Perfect
Imperfect involved working across continents, the authors created a
list of words and phrases that define how to curate the work they
include in their stunning book. Their new interior design and
interior decorating vocabulary includes terms such as mutability,
irregularity, unfinished and incomplete, void, the effects of
accident, unpretentious, simplicity, contrasts, and Leonard Koren's
idea that 'beauty can be coaxed out of ugliness'. The new words and
phrases introduced by the authors define the book's visual
sections: Spirit of Nature Strange Beauty Mark of Hand Deep Shadow
Weathering & Decay And, Incomplete and Irregular A beautiful,
inspirational decorative book: Perfect Imperfect is a celebration
of accident, curation, collection, hesitation, collaboration,
reuse, reimagining and true originality. It explores an established
aesthetic in a new way and embraces current design objects
alongside well-worn ones; featuring interior settings that mix
comfort, design and an off-beat beauty.
