THE SAMI COLLECTION WAS CREATED WITH ADMIRATION FOR THE JAPANESE WABI-SABI MOVEMENT, IN WHICH TRANSIENCE AND IMPERFECTION ARE CENTRAL. CHARACTERISTICS OF WABI-SABI AESTHETICS AND PRINCIPLES INCLUDE ASYMMETRIE, ROUGHNESS, SIMPLICITY, MODESTY, INTIMACY AND THE APPRECIATION OF BOTH NATURAL OBJECTS AND FORCES OF NATURE. WE CALLED OUR FIRST COLLECTION THE SAMI COLLECTION, A PUN OF THE DUTCH WORD "SAMEN" (TOGETHER) AND THE JAPANESE WORD "SABI" (RUSTIC PATINA).
