The art of Wabi-Sabi by

WabiSabi

The roots of Wabi-Sabi are in Zen Buddhism.

‘Wabi’ comes from the root “wa” which means harmony,
peace, tranquility and balance. ‘Sabi’ stands for
“the bloom of time.” In essence, the philosophy celebrates
elements that are weathered, worn or rusted.

In the following pages we have attempted to reimagine

spaces with a touch of Wabi-Sabi. Explore a range
of textures and shades that showcase the passage
of time, peel by peel and stain by stain.
 Why choose
Aludecor Wabi-Sabi

Everything fades with time. But is it possible

to cease the moment in pieces of art? Aludecor’s
Wabi-Sabi MCPs are an attempt at just that.

The patterns and textures in this range are

inspired from elements around the world. They
are designed to offer an exquisite set which aims
to showcase harmony and beauty in daily
imperfections. Wabi-Sabi is rooted in modesty
that is elegantly perceived.
 For brutally honest designs

For decades brutalist architecture was a symbol of

the underclass. Today, however, brutalism is back in style.

London treats its brutalist buildings with care and respect.

Is there a reason why other cities won’t?
With dozens of these structures now listed as heritage
buildings, it has become
a haven for the concrete explorer.
 Guerrilla is even more interesting

Guerrilla architecture is the hacking of existing

buildings, often old, disused or distressed,
for a new function. Students tired of waiting
for sustainable transformation and disillusioned with the
pace of change, hijack disused spaces to create socially
responsible and sustainable designs. Such buildings, spaces,
attachments and interventions are often characterised
by their parasitic or alien nature.
 It steals the show

For strength and distinctive colours, the Corten steel style

of architecture has been noted by most architects worldwide.
A kind of steel with a unique chemical composition, that provides
oxidation which in turn protects the piece, without altering
its mechanical characteristics. It also adds to the core strength
of the structure and enriches aesthetics.

Aludecor Wabi-Sabi MCPs are inexpensive compared

to steel and help achieve the look of Corten steel without
any compromise.
 Distressed is in

Making a piece of furniture or object appear aged and

older, by giving it a weathered or ‘distressed’ look adds intrigue.
There are many methods to achieve this.

The aim is to attain a finish that is intentionally manipulated

to look less than perfect. Sandpaper or paint strippers can be used
for this. The final appearance is often called the patina.

With Wabi-Sabi this look can be achieved with minimal effort.

Just choose the right shade to make your creation stand out!
