The Tabi Collection: Walking Quietly Through Japanese Minimalism
In Japanese culture, few items express simplicity and function as elegantly as the tabi — the traditional split-toe footwear once worn by artisans and travellers. Inspired by this quiet symbol of movement and intention, the Tabi Collection by Konseputo Art celebrates the act of walking — both physically and creatively — through life with balance, awareness, and grace.
A Journey Rooted in Purpose
Each design in the Tabi Collection draws on the Japanese idea of ma — the space between things — and shibui, a refined aesthetic that values subtle beauty over excess.
Rather than loud patterns or trends, these pieces invite stillness. They are meant to be lived with: soft tones, clean lines, and textured details that evoke the calm rhythm of a morning walk through Kyoto’s narrow lanes.
Every tote bag and canvas artwork is designed to feel like a small journey — an object that moves with you and reflects your state of mind. The curved forms and muted palette echo the understated craftsmanship of traditional tabi shoes, reminding us that even the smallest steps can carry intention.
Design Language: Movement in Stillness
The Tabi Collection embodies Konseputo Art’s minimalist approach to design: removing what is unnecessary until only balance remains.
Each piece begins with a sketch that explores how negative space can guide the eye. The final compositions use organic shapes inspired by stones, paper, and shadows — a visual rhythm that feels both grounded and light.
This restraint mirrors Japan’s quiet appreciation for imperfection — the wabi-sabi ideal — where beauty lies in simplicity, weathered texture, and form that feels human. Just as tabi connect the foot to the earth, Tabi Collection designs connect you to a moment of stillness in your surroundings.
Crafted with Care
Every Konseputo Art product is thoughtfully produced to balance quality, sustainability, and timeless style.
- Printed on premium cotton canvas for a natural texture and durability.
- Ethically made in small batches to reduce waste.
- Designed in Vietnam, inspired by Japan, merging cultural craftsmanship with contemporary calm.
Whether displayed in a minimalist interior or carried through the city, the Tabi Collection encourages mindful living — a reminder that calm can be carried anywhere.
A Step Towards Stillness
In an age of constant motion, tabi represent something rare: a quiet pace that values the journey itself.
The Tabi Collection translates this philosophy into art and design — for those who walk lightly, see clearly, and move with intention.
