You hear so much now about green issues in the news and even how governments are working on reducing climate change. I was very inspired by a recent visit to a Sustainability House in downtown Tokyo.
This was part of a week called ‘Tokyo Designers Week’, which was celebrating its 25th year of showing innovative products from designers all over Japan. Just 10 minutes walk from the main exhibition centre, a house had been redecorated by a leading furniture retailer incorporating sustainable solutions for the home.
You can see from the photos that the impact is really significant bringing warmth and colors to create a real feel of life at home. Japanese people live in very confined living spaces, which meant that the task of showing sustainable simple solutions was even more challenging.
Healthy, fresh and natural would be good words to describe the overall impact, with good use of plants and lighting. Well worth it and hope this stimulates the Japanese to look at they way they live and change accordingly.
