お宅訪問 House visit

11月19日（水）





今日はご縁があって茨城インテリアコーディネーター協会のみなさんと東京在住のスウェーデン人ご夫妻のお宅を訪問してきました。北欧の方が東京でどのようなお住まいに住んで、どのようなライフスタイルでおられるかを視察、勉強したいというのがその目的。スタンダードな物差しにこだわらず、自由なセンスで、閉鎖的生活ではなく、オープンで常に自然と繋がったアウトドア重視のライフスタイルにみんな感動。特に、ご夫人が日本で始めたという焼き物、版画の作品が飾られ、生活に溶け込んでいるのが印象的。半蔵門から近い、皇居のお堀が眼下にある風景がリビング一杯の一枚窓を通して眺められるのにはみんな感嘆。自然を愛でながら生活できる空間がそこには広がり、圧巻でした。ご夫妻の自然体でのあたたかいおもてなしにも感動。実りある見学となりました。
Today I had a good opportunity to accompany a group of interior cordinators association in Ibaragi who visited a private mansi...on of Swedish family living in Tokyo. The purpose of this visit was to study about the interior coodination of their place and their life style away from their home country. They respect their free taste in their life. They love open-minded and outdoor oriented life always having the nature nearby. The living room has just one huge window through which they have a magnificent view of the imperial park underneath their building and the view of skyscrapers far beyond the trench whose color change depending on the time of a day. The nature is always there in their life. The wife started her work of pottery and engraving in Tokyo and her works are decorated in the rooms to join their creative interior art. We were very much impressed with their warm hospitality, which we appreciated a lot. It was a very fruitful visit.
