A brand new publication from favorite Norm Architects highlighting the centuries-old connections between the distinct design cultures, emphasizing mutual respect and shared philosophies. Without delay an ode to Japan, a private travelogue, and an aesthetic manifesto, On the weblog I share Norm Architects work from after I first entered their workplace in Copenhagen in 2013 the place we bought to do a styling problem with our blogger staff.
Through the years we witnessed Norm’s decade-long journey as they’ve sought to know one of many world’s most revered artistic cultures. “Exploring Japanese aesthetics from a Scandinavian perspective has been a journey of curiosity in addition to introspection.” says Jonas Bjerre-Poulsen, co-founder of Norm Architects. ‘Stillness’ is an exploration of Japanese aesthetics in structure and design from a Scandinavian perspective. Throughout the seas, two distant areas have developed comparable approaches to design and structure that share a respect for nature, a sensitivity to gentle, and a dedication to craft.
A standard Japanese tokonoma room
Exemplifying the guide idea is the outline of a standard Japanese tokonoma room, which is an alcove that’s used to show artwork, calligraphy, or flower preparations. An area stuffed with symbolic and religious that means. The guide then juxtaposes such a room with the Scandinavian interpretation of it, displaying pictures of each, like impressed Japanese flower preparations, or Recent Inexperienced Leafs hanging from a wall vase on the Sjöparken Lake Villa in Sweden.
Stillness by Gestalten might be world huge accessible from October 8
