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.
“Nothing is permanent, nothing is finished, nothing is perfect”
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.
The synonyms of comfort and well-being extend to the living room, which, like the entire apartment, aligns the minimalist style with the contemporary one, through the simplicity of the aesthetics and subtlety of the pieces, in which Cassia Modular Sofa, together with Caffe Latte’s Ceylon Side Table form the launch pad for what’s coming.
The mid century spirit is present, and is distinguished by the curves and relax offered by Zelda Single Sofa and Hudson Armchair, which find, in the centre, through Empire Coffee Table, the ideal rest of peace and tranquility.
As more secondary pieces, but still renowned, Dolmen Stool is the clear symbol of classical antiquity, bringing with it a historical inspiration, such as the retro statement Simone Floor Lamp, or Metamorphosis Sconce, claded in wood, while imbued in the granite wall.
The principles that govern wabi sabi thinking are the same that guide Caffe Latte in its endless mission to enchant at every step, with every new achievement: what you choose defines how you want to live your life. And there is so much to choose from.
CAFFE LATTE modern Design’s paramount is to provide ergonomic and functionality to any room, with a modern minimalist approach. Complementing other designs aesthetics with the use of a neutral colour palette, presenting sobriety to any interior decoration project, ultimately creating a consensual and transversal design, suitable for any taste.
