Sabaku is the Japanese word for desert.

This café celebrates the beauty of imperfection found in Japanese Wabi-Sabi, blending it with minimalism and elemental references to the Arabian desert.
The design reflects this fusion through a raw, meditative palette: textured surfaces and subtle tonal shifts that evoke both eroded landscapes and quiet intentionality.
