The tradition of oriental watercolors found an unexpected embodiment in the design of furniture

Asia, the artist, as a rule, has a clear specialization. He is not just an animal painter, but the best in the image of monkeys. Or not a landscape painter in general, but specifically a master writing waterfalls. Landscape genre is especially diverse. For example, in China, it distinguishes the writing of flowers and birds (the highest category — the ability to convey the grace of bamboo), mountains and fogs, expanses with and without figures. In aloof, unearthly landscapes, nature seems to stand still, it is silent, immersed in itself, devoid of both emotions and bright colors. The task of the author is not just to capture a certain area, but to create a meditative image outside of time and space.

This image inspired designers to create equally meditative things for the home. We even came up with this name of our phenomenon — Zen style. In such lamps, furniture, accessories there is nothing provocative, it is concise and immaculately elegant design. The form of these things is verified to the smallest detail, the gamma is thought out so carefully that it seems that nothing is more perfect. These things are absolutes. With their help, you can create a calm, peaceful interior, in which you will have a good rest. If you start looking for a way to yourself, then it is better to do it in such a contemplative atmosphere.
