UNE TOUCHE DE STYLE, Glen Proebstel

 

PERFECT  IMPERFECT, the beauty of accident, age & patina

An interior design book that embodies a philosophy of thoughtfulness & creativity in living.

Text by Karen McCartney, Photography Sharyn Cairns / Styling Glen Proebstel

Perfect Imperfect takes as its founding principle the Japanese concept of wabi-sabi, advocating the beauty to be found in imperfection, impermanence and the authentic. Importantly, this is done without losing sight of the benefits of living in the 21st century, where designers are merging digital technology with the handmade to produce items that combine the best of both worlds.

COLOUR BIS REPETITA

Domination of Black (1916) - Excerpt of a poem by Wallace Stevens' Harmonium.

I heard them cry - the peacocks.

Was it a cry against the twilight

Or against the leaves themselves

Turning in the wind,

Turning as the flames

Turned in the fire,

Turning as the tails of the peacocks

Turned in the loud fire,

Loud as the hemlocks

Full of the cry of the peacocks?

Or was it a cry against the hemlocks?

The essence of black -  Bois d'Ascèse
