I’m sorry. I really don’t know what wabi sabi means. I just hear my boss use this term when referring to elegant and refined architecture that brings in a bit of nature into the design. That’s kind of what this radio does. The radio has no knobs or cluttery gizmos sticking out. The radio simply has this ribbed element at the top that almost look like scales. If you stroke the radio just right the volume goes up. If you stoe it again the radio station changes. I don’t know why but I imagine owners of this radio sitting around in white labcoats with this is the middle of a sparten, concrete floored room lit only by bright white fluorescent tubes. Does that make any sense?

There is a children’s book explaining the term Wabi sabi – I was reading about it at the Paper Tigers’ blog where they talked a bit about both the book and the term. Sorry I don’t have the exact url right now, but I suspect if you google and get to their blog, you shall be able to find out.
