Stillness (an Exploration of Japanese Aesthetics in Architecture and Design)

Kč1,650.00
Tax included. Shipping calculated at checkout.

Two distant places. One shared language of quiet. Stillness traces the subtle dialogue between Japanese and Scandinavian design—two traditions rooted in nature, light, and craftsmanship.

At its center is the idea of space as reflection. A Japanese tokonoma, where a single flower or scroll holds meaning. A Scandinavian wall vase in a lakeside villa, where fresh green leaves echo that same intention. The book pairs these moments—visually and conceptually—without forcing the connection. It lets it unfold.

Edited in part by Norm Architects, the Copenhagen studio known for its balance of softness and structure, Stillnessmoves gently between rooms, philosophies, and cultures.

I keep this book close because it reminds me that design doesn’t have to speak loudly to hold depth. Whether it’s the curve of a chair or the weight of still air in a room, it’s often the quietest details that stay with you longest.

Product information

Take care of your clothes and they’ll last beyond seasons.

  • Wash less, air more.

  • Follow fabric-specific care: wool and silk prefer gentle hand wash or dry cleaning; cotton and synthetics can be washed cold.

  • Avoid tumble drying when possible — it shortens the lifespan of fibers.

  • Store knits folded, not hung, to keep their shape.

  • Leather ages best with occasional conditioning and proper storage.

Cotton
A fabric that carries everyday life. Breathable and versatile, softening with time and wear. Denim and jersey tell their stories through fading, stretching, and the patina of repeated use. We value cotton for its honesty — a fabric that grows better with you.

Wool
A natural insulator, warm yet breathable. Wool regulates temperature, resists odor, and is built for longevity. From fine merino to heavy knits, it balances softness and strength. We see wool as a living material — one that requires care but rewards it with decades of use.

Linen
Light, durable, and textured. Linen creases not as a flaw, but as its language: marks of movement, evidence of wear. It is strongest in simplicity — airy shirts, loose trousers, summer layers that hold both fragility and resilience.

Silk
Smooth, lustrous, delicate. Silk carries light differently from any other fabric — it reflects, shimmers, and changes with movement. While fragile to care for, it is unmatched in presence. We treat silk as a fabric of occasion and attention.

Leather
A material that never stops evolving. Leather holds memory — every crease, scratch, and patina is a record of time. Conditioned and cared for, it lasts for generations. We see leather as a dialogue between craft and use, where the wearer becomes part of its design.

Blends
Sometimes fabrics are combined — natural with synthetic — to create balance: strength, flexibility, stretch, or weather resistance. We respect blends when they serve purpose and longevity, not trend. A thoughtful blend can bring durability and comfort without compromise.
