Omotenashi is "an approach to hospitality built around anticipating guests' needs", according to Interior Design magazine. Alas, I did not win this yacht on my recent design conference in Las Vegas, but was intrigued by the omotenashi concept. A light color scheme fosters a "sense of openness, combined with enveloping curved lines for a comfortable cruise, according to the magazine.
Lexus recently premiered this flagship luxury yacht in Florida. It is the rxusult of a collaboration with an Italian yacht designer and Marquis Yachts in Wisconsin. Lexus attempts to bring the design of its luxury cars to a sport yacht. Exterior details include a pronounced bow and coupe-like roofline, with metallic accents and an optional two-tone color scheme, according to Interior Design magazine.
Whether designing your home, office or yacht, the omotenashi concept of openness, lightness and hospitality is a concept you may wish to explore.
