Yūgen does not describe the beauty seen with the eyes; instead, it captures the feeling one experiences when encountering something beautiful. It is the appreciation of watching the sun set over a hill covered in flowers, sensing the beauty of the sky blending various hues of clouds, or entering a meticulously crafted house touched by human hands—that is Yūgen.
Using the heart to perceive the beauty of a home is a wonderful ability that any family member can possess. Alongside projects embodying the beauty of imperfections in Wabisabi style, Yūgen stands as an ancient ideal in Japanese aesthetics. Yūgen and Wabisabi serve as foundations for many cultural and aesthetic standards. The beauty of an apartment is shaped by soft materials, gentle colors, and craftsmanship.
Rattan, used in various furniture pieces within the home such as seating, shelves, and bedside tables, imparts a sense of familiarity. When paired with neutral Grey Lounge colors, it achieves an elegant and modern ambiance, striking a balance with traditional decor. Additionally, it enhances the prominence of dark walnut wood details, creating focal points and adding warmth to the house.
In crafting the ultimate retreat, a sense of coziness, softness, and authenticity is indispensable. This is achieved through natural materials like fabric from bed linens, carpets, curtains, to sofas.
The appreciation for nature, cultural elements, and a focus on human connection combine to create a wondrous and cohesive whole for a cozy and impressive home. It is well-suited for a communal space that invites sharing precious moments at the beginning of the new year for the homeowners.
