Uniting opposite sides of the planet in a passion for nature combined with a desire for elevated functionality within a minimalist aesthetic, the Japandi trend—a portmanteau of Japanese and Scandinavian, sometimes also referred to as Scandinese—offers a serene antidote to the chaos of modern life. Let’s take a look at some of its signature elements.

Culture Collab

Borrowing elements from Scandinavian design and Japanese aesthetics, Japandi incorporates light woods and saturated neutrals punctuated with black accents. Natural elements, like bamboo and stone, and textured objects and materials bring a sense of the outdoors inside. Combined with stark minimalist forms, these foundational elements create inviting, function-driven spaces.
