FINDING BEAUTY IN IMPERFECTION
For anyone related to the field of design or any
brand marketing agency, the subjectivity of the
field is not a topic that is undiscussed.
Although design has a strong base of strategy and
logic, conversion of any strategy into aesthetics
that suit an enterprise does involve contrasting
opinions. Space design, Space Branding are known
to be fields that require a large team with
distinct expertise. While working on such
projects, difference in opinions is inevitable.
Using the ancient Japanese concept of Wabi-Sabi
has proved effective for both management and
aesthetics in such situations.
5
WHAT IS WABI SABI?

• Wabi-Sabi is an ancient Japanese concept that
  advices people to accept and appreciate the
  beauty in transience and imperfection. Wabi
  Sabi is a composite of 2 terms Wabi and Sabi,
  Wabi means Austere, Subdued Beauty and Sabi means
  Rustic beauty.
• It accepts the lack of knowledge and urges
  inquisitive thinking and curiosity. By
  disregarding the concept of perfection,
  Wabi-Sabi allows us go further and explore
  possibilities that might seem imperfect which
  helps foster creativity.

6
HOW IS WABI-SABI RELEVANT TO SPACE DESIGN?

• Methodology
• Wabi-Sabi, by overlooking the concept of
  perfection allows the exploration and research in
  the areas that seem less than perfect in the
  early stages of any projects. The exploration and
  the gaining information or knowledge and
  translating that knowledge into aesthetic is what
  is recommended especially for creative design
  agencies.

HOW IS WABI-SABI RELEVANT TO SPACE DESIGN?

• Management
• Much like Design, the concept of Wabi-Sabi is
  also known to be subjective. The teachings of
  wabi-sabi eliminate the concept of right or
  wrong as the perfection that one expects
  doesnt exist. This helps keep an open mind to
  ideas that seem unconventional or different in
  the start. Allowing exploration that seem a
  little offbeat may lead to an unexpected,
  innovative solution and reflect in the growth of
  individual employees as well as the brand design
  agency.

HOW IS WABI-SABI RELEVANT TO SPACE DESIGN?

• Aesthetics
• Wabi-Sabi believes in designs inspired from
  Nature. Wabi-Sabi defies the modernity that
  forces us to create perfectly flat, symmetrical,
  edged designs that aid mass production. It
  encourages organic forms and shapes that allow
  craftsmanship to bloom. It also allows the
  design agency to use regional handicrafts and
  artifacts.

HOW DOES INTERICS DESIGNS FOLLOW WABI-SABI?

• Through Methodology
• Interics Designs has developed a unique
  methodology, fine-tuned over years of extensive
  experience in space design. The methodology
  suggests that any project that we take on, must
  start with thorough research and exploration. Any
  topic, any idea must be explored.
• Each level of the methodology prompts us to
  explore various options in the theme, designs,
  layouts, stories, shapes, forms, languages,
  material.

HOW DOES INTERICS DESIGNS FOLLOW WABI-SABI?

• Through Refurbishing
• We urge our clients to allow us to accommodate
  the use of antiquities that we refurbish and
  install that create a unique value in the space.
  We also encourage them to reuse as many old
  products as the space and theme permits.
• Wabi- Sabi celebrates the transience and
  imperfection, hence the use of these artifacts
  resonates with the principle.

11
HOW DOES INTERICS DESIGNS FOLLOW WABI-SABI?

• Sustainability and Aesthetics
• The use of natural and sustainable material is
  one of the most important features of the
  wabi-sabi design aesthetic. Also, the use of
  non-geometric organic forms in the aesthetic that
  is visually more natural is recommended.
• We try our best to use sustainable and natural
  material for installations and combine it with
  supreme aesthetics. We use forms other than
  geometric shapes and create a language that is
  unique to each brand that we work for.
