Japandi is the newest and hottest trend in interiors: a
harmonious combination of functionality, comfort, and the minimalist look that
characterizes Scandinavian design, with the purest elegance of traditional
Japanese craftsmanship.

Japandi harmoniously blends Scandinavian hygge with wabi-sabi,
a concept derived from Zen Buddhism that advocates peaceful sobriety and
invites us to admire the beauty hidden in slight imperfections in nature. This
first major survey of Japandi style will introduce the reader to the
fundamentals, and to iconic objects that will transform and interior into a
Japandi-inspired retreat.

Chapter one of the book examines the converging principles
that have contributed to the emergence of Japandi Style such as functionality,
neutral colors, the importance of organic materials, and the thoughtful
simplicity of shapes. Chapter two presents some of the most emblematic works of
Japandi Style, and the design studios behind them. Chapter three gives examples
of how to decorate and furnish rooms - the living room, dining room, bedroom,
bathroom, winter garden, or home office - in Japandi Style.
