Mysiga Hōmu

Location: Mumbai
Year: 2020

A Japandi slice of heaven nestles in the lap of South Bombay. A home that celebrates simplicity, the marriage of wabi-sabi (a Japanese philosophy that embraces the beauty in imperfections) and Hygge décor (a Danish term that refers to a sense of coziness and comfort) – an uncluttered, unfussy oasis bedecked with wooden interiors and pale hues that paint quite a quaint Scandinavian-Japanese inspired picture. Sometimes it is two similarly dissimilar styles that are better than one.

Mysiga Hōmu is seeded in a distinctly merged Scandinavian and Japanese minimalist sensibility, cocooned in sleek silhouettes and well-crafted pieces that are handmade from natural materials by artisanal hands. The hybrid aesthetic combines the immersive modern-rustic vibe of Nordic or Scandinavian designs with the traditional elegance that’s associated with Japanese styles, giving birth to ‘Japandi’ – a concept that combines the function-driven features that connect the two different sides of the world together. Featuring warm wood colours and neutral tones, the oasis is bathed in soft golden sunlight
and is an appreciation for thoughtful and sustainable interiors.
