Commentary from expert collaborators in both regions provides in-depth understanding into key design principles. At once an ode to Japan, a personal travelogue, and an aesthetic manifesto, Stillness takes readers on Norm’s decade-long journey as they’ve sought to understand one of the world’s most revered creative cultures. Review: Good - Muy bello pero si las hojas fueran enceradas las imágenes se miraran en mejor calidad Review: Buen material de portada, tipo tela con imagen pegada, fotos internas algo opacas - Excelente diagramación y fotografía, sin embargo el papel hace que las fotos se vean un poco opacas

Perfect coffee table book
Such an aesthetic and minimal book. In awe of Japanese architecture and interior, highly recommend. It is also a gorgeous decor touch as a coffee table book.

A Photobook of Nordic–Japanese Kinship
An insightful photobook examining the kinship between Danish and Japanese aesthetics, where form, material, and philosophy converge in understated elegance.

Beautiful book 🤎 🤍
Wonderfully done. Beautiful, calming photographs. I love flipping through this gorgeous book with a cup of coffee in my favorite spot in the house. I have the book “Soft Minimal” also from this author that I love as well. They bring me a sense of calm and look great on display in my living room 🤎

Love this book
Absolutely love the look and color of this book. Perfect for a coffee table or any book styling of any kind. I was looking for a few more books to incorporate on my coffee table and I am most certainly not disappointed.

Disappointed with this book!
I love Norm Architects and Japan—Norm Architects are my favorite, and Japan is the best country I’ve ever visited. However, I was quite disappointed with this book. The same photos were repeated multiple times, which made it very boring. The book spine was also slightly damaged, which seems to be a common issue when buying books on Amazon. In the end, I gave the book away.

Esquinas lastimadas…
Es triste que un libro tan hermoso (y costoso) llegue lastimado de las esquinas por no haberlo embalado correctamente, no tenia ni una protección. Deberian tener mas cuidado (y amor) por una pieza tan bella que va a tener un viaje largo hasta su entrega.
