Stillness
Gestalten
Stillness is an exploration of Japanese aesthetics in architecture and design from a Scandinavian perspective. Across the seas, two distant regions have developed similar approaches to design and architecture that share a respect for nature, a sensitivity to light, and a dedication to craft. Exemplifying the book concept is the description of a traditional Japanese tokonoma room, which is an alcove that is used to display art, calligraphy, or flower arrangements. The tokonoma is a space filled with symbolic and spiritual meaning. The book then juxtaposes such a room with the Scandinavian interpretation of it, displaying photographs of both (inspired Japanese flower arrangements, Fresh Green Leafs hanging from a wall vase at the Sjöparken Lake Villa, Sweden).
