JAPANDI DESIGN IS TAKING INTERIORS BY STORM Scandinavian functionality and Japanese minimalism With the combining of two cultures, which are seemingly different but share a similar visual approach, we now have ‘Japandi’ - a fusion of Japan and Scandinavia JAPAN AND SCANDINAVIA APPEAR TO BE COMPLETELY DIFFERENT at first glance, but they are connected by a shared approach to home décor that implies simplicity, natural elements and comfort. Japandi design represents a combination of Scandi- navian functionality and rustic Japanese minimalism, the combining of which creates a style that’s artistic, but also natural and simple. This kind of fusion provides a perfect combination of form and function, while the emphasis is on clean lines, illuminated spaces and light colours. When we say reduced, we’re referring to everything except that which is boring. The fusion of styles is re- flected in simplified, minimalist designs that are pleas- ing to the eye while being extremely functional.

The emphasis is on clean lines, illuminated spaces and light colours Akcenat je na čistim linijama, osvetljenim prostorima i svetlim bojama eco-friendly aesthetics, this is a total hit, with décor that promotes sustainability, coupled with a lack of details that means less waste. The Scandinavian concept of home comfort and cosiness combines perfectly with the Japanese visual style, which promotes the idea that beauty is also found in imperfections. By combining Scandinavian perfec- tionism and Japanese imperfection, with an emphasis on textures from nature, we have gained a harmonious yet dynamic style that remains light and sophisticated. Reduced colours with a tinge of green and refining the space with plants are a given. Alongside furniture made of wood and bamboo, you will almost have the feeling that you’re living outdoors. This kind of style is not intended for short-term use, so you should opt for pieces that will stand the test of time and that you’ll be able to upgrade. The time has come for us to confront the expansion of disposable piec- es and turn to those that are sustainable for the planet, without sacrificing on comfort and convenience. Well done Japandi!
