our events
the wabi event is where we, as designers, enjoy the freedom of full creative experimentation. each member contributes in multiple ways including designing the promotional motifs, producing works for projection, building installations and playing records.
the collaboration of innovative guest musicians and artists adds another layer of ideas to the evening. working together, we strive to create an environment out of space, sound and light that is always unique yet always imbued with the essence that is wabi.
