The WABI SABI Concept
Drawing inspiration from the ancient Japanese ideology of Wabi Sabi, which celebrates the beauty of imperfection and simplicity, the new salon at TRX embraces a modern interpretation of this concept, infusing it with sophistication. It is designed to offer a haven for corporate working groups in the vicinity, providing them with a space to unwind, de-stress, and escape the fast-paced urban environment. With its subdued ambiance and quiet atmosphere, characterized by muted earthy tones and industrial accents, the salon creates an environment conducive to relaxation and tranquility. Here, visitors can indulge in pampering Head Spa services, enhancing their experience with an extra touch of luxury. It serves as a sanctuary from the intensity of work and city life, allowing individuals to momentarily pause and immerse themselves in a world of blissful serenity, rejuvenating both mind and body.
In design, Wabi-Sabi encourages simplicity, minimalism, and the use of natural materials. It values authenticity, imperfection, and the beauty of things that are handmade or have a sense of history. Wabi-Sabi design often incorporates elements like asymmetry, roughness, and simplicity to create spaces that feel organic, tranquil, and harmonious.
The philosophy of perfect imperfections permeates every aspect of the Japanese mindset, society, and art. Over the centuries, it has become a way of living and an integral part of every piece of art and design, creating its own aesthetic.
Wabi-sabi draws its inspiration from all things nature-related. It is inspired by the great outdoors while still being unassuming, simplistic, and somewhat minimalistic. One of the key features of wabi-sabi is asymmetry. Japanese art does not try to be perfect; artists, in fact, strive to add at least a hint of asymmetry to their design.
