Wabi Sabi for Artists, Designers, Poets And Philosophers

Leonard Koren was trained as an architect but never built anything—except an eccentric Japanese tea house—because he found large, permanent objects too philosophically vexing to design. Instead, he created WET: The Magazine of Gourmet Bathing, one of the premier avant-garde magazines of the 1970s. Since then, Koren has produced books about design (Arranging Things: A Rhetoric of Object Placement) and aesthetics (Which "Aesthetics" Do You Mean: Ten Definitions).
