Great Exhibition : Alvaro Aalto - Second Nature



I love modern architecture because the designs are simple, sharp, and bold. It is refreshing! Last month, I took a day trip with a friend of mine, Kuni chan. She planned the trip, and it was so great! We went to the Alvaro Aalto Exhibition. He was a Finnish architect and designer (1898 – 1976).
モダニズム建築のシンプルでシャープで大胆なところが大好きです。写真を眺めるだけでリフレッシュできます。先月、建築に詳しい友人のくにちゃんがコーディネイトしてくれた日帰り旅行で、初めて県立近代美術館 葉山へいってきました。開館15周年記念の「アルヴァ・アアルト〜もう一つの自然」は、撮影可能のお部屋があったので、本日はアルヴァ・アアルト (1898 – 1976)の魅力をお届けしますね。













I don't have furniture or products designed by him, but I am interested in his work. It has natural color and bold blank space like Galactic orbit. Before going to the exhibition, I collected many images on Pinterest, for example, his office, personal living room, etc... They inspire me when I plan redecorating my home. Anyway, I met Kuni chan at Zushi station at noon and had lunch at Hikagejaya which is a very beautiful Japanese restaurant. After that, we went to the Kanagawa museum by bus. The museum was so comfortable, and we had a quiet hour in the beautiful space. I memorized that atmosphere. Speaking of my outfit, these pants are from The Row which I found at Barneys New York in Ginza last month. I had been looking for neat pants for a long time because there were unique pants in my closet. It was my first time wearing them when I took this day trip, and they were suitable for the exhibition.

アアルトの家具も小物も持っていませんが、彼が創り出す空間はずっと気になっていました。家具のナチュラルな色と大胆なブランクスペースはまるで銀河の軌道のよう。アアルト展へ行く前に予習も兼ねて、Pinterestで彼に関する画像をたくさん集め始めたら、インスピレーションが湧き上がってきて止まらなくなりました。当日は、お昼に逗子駅でくにちゃんと待ち合わせをしてタクシーで日影茶屋へ。素敵なランチの後、バスで美術館へ行きました。とても静かで心地の良いお庭をのんびり散歩してから、アアルト展へ。言葉が見つからないくらい、それはもう素晴らしかったです。ずっと気になっていたアアルトの空間を肌で感じることができて、その感覚を忘れないように家に大事に持ち帰りました。さて、最後に、お洋服のお話です。パンツはザ・ロウです。いつの間にか、手持ちのパンツが全部、面白いパンツばかりになっていたので、きちんとしたパンツをずっと探していたら銀座のバーニーズにありました! この日、初めて履いたのですが、アアルト展にぴったりで嬉しくなりました。
