About

Wabi-sabi is a Japanese aesthetic that celebrates the simple, the impermanent and the imperfect. It’s usually associated with the idea of something being perfectly imperfect. The word Sabi means the appreciation of skilled hands at work and it describes what we stand for as a brand. Everything in the store is sustainable and carefully handmade, with the intention to last a lifetime and passed over to the next generation. Each piece is inspired by the simple, subtle tones of nature, letting the textures and layers stand out. Founded by the artist Sarah Sofie Norbo from Denmark, Sabi also caries the minimalistic influences of Scandinavia.

Sarah creates all the ceramics and paintings in her studio in Lisbon. The clothing and jewellery line, are designed by her and crafted by artisans in Bali, who she established a connection to when living there for 3 years. The clothing line is unisex, avant-garde and highly comfortable, liberating the wearer from the norm. The clothing is where it all started under the brand name nobody. Nobody was quickly selling in some of the very best stores around the world but after Sarah Sofie moved to Lisbon she seeked more simplicity and more direct consumerism so now it's only selling in some hand picked stores in Berlin, Bali and Mykenos.
The space which caries all her passions is currently situated in Lisbon, 116 Rua Da Madalena.

In Sabi we support individuality, not adhering to seasons, gender and trends.
