281 WW #4 Elegance


Above is a tramstation at Bellevue-Platz, literally a beautiful location nearby the lake. Below is a cloakroom at Zurich Opera House. Neither of them might  be one of the popular photo-targets (especially to local residents.) But without knowing why I was enchanted by the scenes. It'd be a bit hard to tell from the photo, but the tramstation had futuristic shape and theatrical lighting. The cloakroom was situated in a place like "Under stairs storage" but it actually was very light and airy, with ivory-white wall and refined modernity (you see Ant Chairs by Arne Jacobsen, one of the masterpieces of Scandinavian design, in the middle of the room.) This modern room made a right angle with the solemn and gorgeous entrance of the Opera House so that they wouldn't interfere with each other.

Casually styled but well proportioned, simple but delicate, as well as effortlessly chic, I'd like to call it elegance.
