Questions About Wabi Sabi Bowl
  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022
    Wabi-sabi pottery refers to earthenware vessels that embody the principles of a Japanese philosophy called wabi-sabi. Proponents of the idea believe that household objects should emphasize function over form, so that they satisfy needs but do not cause people to attach too much meaning to worldly possessions. There is also a focus on finding the beauty in imperfection and simplicity. On 1stDibs, find a collection of wabi-sabi pottery.
  • 1stDibs ExpertMay 5, 2023
    The primary principle of Wabi-Sabi is to appreciate the imperfections found in nature. As a result, Wabi-Sabi emphasizes asymmetry, roughness, simplicity and the use of natural materials and finishes. On 1stDibs, shop a variety of pieces based on Wabi-Sabi principles.
  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022
    Wabi-sabi is the practice of finding the beauty in imperfections. Examples include flowers growing through cracks in the ground, or a broken ceramic bowl made whole again with its imperfections showing through. You’ll find a variety of wabi-sabi pieces from some of the world’s top sellers on 1stDibs.
    1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022

  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022
    Wabi-sabi furniture refers to tables, seats and other furnishings that reflect a specific Japanese design philosophy. It involves creating minimalist furniture that has a focus on appreciating the imperfections found in nature. On 1stDibs, find a collection of wabi-sabi furniture.
  • 1stDibs ExpertMay 5, 2023
    Wabi-sabi is technically not a design style, but it has influenced design. The term Wabi-sabi refers to a philosophy that emphasizes accepting imperfection and celebrating the impermanent beauty of nature. This concept has inspired many interior design trends, such as using organic and sustainable materials, selecting upcycled and repurposed pieces and integrating furniture and decorative objects that are unfinished, unpolished and unglazed. Shop a collection of pieces inspired by Wabi-sabi on 1stDibs.
