“Primal Modern exists at the intersection of ancient Eastern art and philosophy, and modern architecture and design — blurring the line between art + function.”
WABI-SABI MEETS MINAMILIST MODERN DESIGN
Our designs are inspired by the ancient art and philosophy of Wabi-Sabi which has been associated with Japanese Zen Buddhism for over 1,000 years, with its philosophical roots founded in Chinese Taoism nearly 1,500 years earlier.
Wabi-Sabi looks to nature and natural phenomenon for its inspiration and sees beauty in the inconspicuous qualities of nature... beauty in things impermanent and incomplete. The Wabi-Sabi essence resides in the organic, warm, primal qualities of the highly figured natural wood that form over its lifetime.
Where traditional woodworkers consider cracks, knots and unusual grain patterning to be flaws, we celebrate these wild variations as they are the essential presence of the tree - a window into its life.
We then synthesize the rich, complex, organic forms of natural wood with crisp, clean minimalist modern features of steel, glass and leather to create evocative, one-of-a-kind, exclusive pieces of art with a function.
