Wabi-Sabi Studio Apartment in Casablanca

The Japanese philosophy of accepting the imperfect. Wabi refers to living with humility and simplicity while being in harmony with nature, while sabi is defined as the ability to accept the life cycle of anything as it is – flaws and all. This is Wabi-Sabi. 
It is in this package of simplicity and authenticity that Caffe Latte and Covet House reveal its unique personality, this time in partnership with Tasnim Ashraf. This small, but cozy studio combines different rooms in one singular space, spacious and sober throughout its expansion, whose rustic touch perfectly combines with the elegance and preciousness of the pieces.
At the entrance, we are impelled by the presence of Body Chair, an elegant and charming element designed by Masquespacio for Covet Collection, 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, we can find Minelli Bed, by Essential Home, all in neutral tones, with Cocoa and Sugar, from Caffe Latte, serving as nature-inspired bedside table and rug, respectively, in addition to the mid-century vibe brought by  Delightfull lighting pieces, such as 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 forms 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, both iconic pieces of Essential Home, which finds, in the centre, through Empire Center Table, by Boca do Lobo, the ideal rest of peace and tranquility.
As more secondary pieces, but still renowned, Dolmen Stool, from Brabbu, is the clear symbol of classical antiquity, bringing with it a historical inspiration, such as the retro statement Simone Floor Lamp, by Delightfull, or Metamorphosis Sconce, from Boca do Lobo, clad in wood, while imbued in the granite wall.
The principles that govern wabi sabi thinking are the same that guide Caffe Latte and Covet House in their 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.
