Book od New MagsPerfect Imperfect - the beauty of accident, age & patina
An interior design book that embodies a philosophy of thoughtfulness and creativity in life. Perfect Imperfect takes the basic principle of the Japanese concept of wabi-sabi, and advocates the beauty found in imperfection, impermanence and authenticity. Importantly, this is done without losing the benefits of living in the 21st century, where designers are fusing digital technology with the handmade to produce objects that combine the best of both worlds.
This inspiring book, with thought-provoking text by Karen McCartney and stunning visuals by Sharyn Cairns and Glen Proebstel, is a celebration of accident, curation, collection, hesitation, collaboration, reuse, reimagining and true originality.
Perfect Imperfect explores an established aesthetic in a new way, as illustrated by the homes and studios of international and Australian creatives. It incorporates current design objects along with well-worn items and features interior settings that blend comfort, design and striking beauty.
