When I was a kid playing with Star Wars figures, I would think to myself, "why does this stormtrooper look like he's got constipation" and "why does Leia have dots for eyes." Just because kids are younger than us, it doesn't mean that they know nothing about design and quality. Even though we have rapid prototyping technology and precision tools to create perfect carbon copies, we instead choose to embrace the irregularities and imperfections brought about through the handcrafting process and in doing so create something which feels unique, natural, and familiar.īefore you continue to learn more, take a look at the following short video to see how we make Smart Doll.

Wabi-Sabi states among other things that beauty can only be achieved if there is a correlate amount of imperfection.

Wabi-Sabi is a set of 7 zen aesthetic design principles of which we focus on 3 which are FUKINSEI (imbalanced, imperfection, asymmetry), SHIZEN (naturalness, free of pretense) and DATSUZOKU (unconventional). While the aesthetics of Smart Doll are based on Anime/Manga (Japanese cartoon and comics) culture, the core concepts behind our product design and company philosophy are based on a set of Japanese design principles known as Wabi-Sabi.

The design of Smart Doll is heavily influenced by various aspects of Japanese Culture.
