Stillness is an exploration of Japanese aesthetics in architecture and design from a Scandinavian perspective. Across the seas, two distant regions have developed similar approaches to design and architecture that share a respect for nature, a sensitivity to light, and a dedication to craft. Exemplifying the book concept is the description of a traditional Japanese tokonoma room, which is an alcove that is used to display art, calligraphy, or flower arrangements. The tokonoma is a space filled with symbolic and spiritual meaning. The book then juxtaposes such a room with the Scandinavian interpretation of it, displaying photographs of both (inspired Japanese flower arrangements, Fresh Green Leafs hanging from a wall vase at the Sjöparken Lake Villa, Sweden).

In an age where cities swell and hum with endless demands, a quiet exodus is unfolding. Fueled by a yearning to escape the pressures of modern life, a new generation trades urban density for open skies, slower rhythms, and homes shaped by something more intentional.
Though rooted in rural settings, these spaces carry the imprint of their inhabitants’ cultivated sensibilities—expressions of a design language shaped by urban influences. Tethered to their historic bones and quirks, they demand a reconsideration of what it means to live and occupy space—revealing themselves far more beguiling than ideal.
This book ventures into the heart of the Cottagecore lifestyle, assembling a portrait of interiors crafted by urban exiles with a knack for making even the most die-hard city dwellers dream of staking their claim to a quiet patch of land.
