For a couple of decades, I’ve had a beautiful little book called Wabi-Sabi: for Artists, Designers, Poets & Philosophers by Leonard Koren. It’s really wonderfully printed and designed and I’ve given it out as a gift to my design team as well as friends over the years. 

In case you’re wondering what wabi-sabi (侘寂) is, according to Koren:

“Wabi-sabi is a beauty of things imperfect, impermanent, and incomplete. It is a beauty of things modest and humble. It is a beauty of things unconventional.”
