Beskrivelse: Wabi-sabi is a beauty of things imperfect, impermanent, and incomplete. It is a beauty of things modest and humble. It is a beauty of things unconventional.
If beauty is defined as a quality encompassing both extraordinary sensoriality and exemplary human behavior, then possibly the most beautiful flower shop in the world is located in Vienna’s low-key but hip 4th District. Blumenkraft (literally, “Flower Power”) is a place of inspiration, refuge, and virtue that will inform and enlighten anyone involved in design and modern commerce. Mixing analysis, anecdote, and observation, Leonard Koren once again reveals the key principles of practical wisdom at work in the world. His concise and lucid text is illustrated by his own photographs. Trained as an artist and architect, Leonard Koren is author of Arranging Things and the best-selling Wabi-Sabi . He lives in San Francisco.
Leonard Koren's memoir offers an insightful and whimsical look into his life as an artist and creator of cultural phenomena like WET: The Magazine of Gourmet Bathing and the wabi-sabi aesthetic. Through personal anecdotes and reflections, Koren explores the intersection of art, culture, and his unique perspective on beauty and imperfection. His distinctive voice and experiences provide readers with a deeper understanding of his contributions to contemporary culture.
