WABI SABI STUDIO APARTMENT IN CASABLANCA THE JAPANESE PHILOSOPHY OF ACCEPTING THE IMPERFECT

Wabi refers to living with humility and simplicity , while being in harmony with nature . Sabi is defined as the ability to accept the lifecycle of anything as it is - flaws and all .
This is Wabi Sabi , the Japanese philosophy of accepting the imperfect .
It is in this package of authenticity and calmness that Caffe Latte , together with Tasnim Ashraf , reveals its unique personality .
Located in the main business center of North Africa , there is a small , but cosy studio , combining different rooms in one singular and sober space , whose rustic touch perfectly fits with the elegance and wealth of the pieces .
At the entrance , we are impelled by the presence of Body Chair , an elegant and charming element designed by Masquespacio , which is , moreover , the main statement piece of the dark foyer .
A few steps ahead , we come face to face with the bedroom , improvised for some , but perfect for those who don ’ t want to waste time with decoration details .
It ’ s right there , more accessible than ever .
In this adjoining space , stripped of any embellishment , there is Minelli Bed , all in neutral tones , with Cocoa and Sugar , from Caffe Latte , serving as nature-inspired bedside table and rug , respectively .
In addition , it can also be found a mid-century vibe , brought by Amy Table Lamp and Etta Pendant .
Regarding storage , the closet is a key background complement that will certainly add more dynamism and organization to the space .
