Perfect Imperfect | The Beauty Of Accident Age & Patina
An interior design book that embodies a philosophy of thoughtfulness and creativity in living.
Perfect Imperfect takes as its founding principle the Japanese concept of wabi-sabi, advocating that beauty is to be found in imperfection, impermanence and the authentic.
Importantly, this is done without losing sight of the benefits of living in the 21st century, where designers are merging digital technology with the handmade to produce items that combine the best of both worlds.
This inspirational book, with thought-provoking text by Karen McCartney and stunning visuals by Sharyn Cairns and Glen Proebstel, is a celebration of accident, curation, collection, hesitation, collaboration, reuse, reimagining and true originality.
Perfect Imperfect explores an established aesthetic in a new way, as illustrated by the homes and studios of international and Australian creatives. It embraces current design objects alongside well-worn ones, and features interior settings that mix comfort, design and an offbeat beauty.
