Wabi sabi is an ancient aesthetic philosophy rooted in Zen Buddhism, particularly the tea ceremony, a ritual of purity and simplicity in which masters prized bowls that were handmade and irregularly shaped, with uneven glaze, cracks, and a perverse beauty in their deliberate imperfection.

Special projects
The KOHLERSTRAUMANN firm office
An architecture firm office with a pure, minimalist style. An iconic project that expresses the design idea and vision of its founders, Aaron Kohler and Marc Straumann.
A soul in a ceiling
Purity and minimalism
The spirit, uniqueness and heart of the building, dominating and filling its interiors. Imperfection, embedded in the ceiling, recounts its history.
Marc and Aaron believe every architectural act has its own purpose.
The Obliqua kitchen
The Ernestomeda kitchen completes the office’s functions and transforms it into a place for sharing and feeling at home. The colour of the base and wall units blends into the walls, creating a pure style of impenetrable elegance.
