Abstract

A cozy kitchen that makes you want to sit there forever. Chopsticks and spoons that, once in your hand, surprise you with their ease of use and make you want to have them. A coffee pot that, when placed on the table, stands out with its exquisite balance and beauty. And storage solutions so simple that even first-time visitors can easily find what they need. Tomoko Ishiguro's home is a treasure trove of wisdom derived from a carefully curated selection of truly good things and a thoughtful way of living.
