With TOTO team and DESIGN HOUNDS at Bouley Botanical
Toto USA sponsored our day and evening together at this fantastic space in SOHO. We dined following a busy day at design shows ICFF and Wanted Design. At first glance, our dinner seemed like just a fancy meal out at a five star restaurant with a world class chef, but once diving a little deeper the night was infused with a philosophy about clean living, "green thinking" to include thoughts on the value of water conservation and clean soil, with ideologies woven together by world class chef David Bouley and TOTO USA. Firstly, we learned that TOTO USA's products have many certifications and stamps of approval to foster their primary function, which is to offer friendly-to-the-planet products with state of the art technology. At the center of this is a topic on top of mind around the world--water conservation. Toto has made huge strides to offer their bathroom products not only with superior engineering, technology and research but to to offer sustainability through water conservation, which in turn influences the planet in monumental ways. And, as a result, TOTO has had great success selling more than 40 million Washlets worldwide since their 1980 launch in Japan.
Likewise, we heard first-hand from chef David Bouley who is debuting a "clean living" program about eating and growing healthy, and Bouley put forth the idea that the current wave of eating all "organic" food does not have significant value without beginning the growing process by utilizing clean soil. In his Bouley Botanical kitchen in SOHO, we dined on his delicious fare while hearing about his philosophy of bringing fresh herbs, medicinal spices and foods into our every day living infused in oils and other creative cooking techniques. I have to admit, David Bouley has been one of my favorite chefs since over twenty years ago when I dined at his original restaurant in Tribeca, and I came to see him as a food visionary. It's wonderful to see he is growing and learning and is one of the food and health trendsetters for this generation. I became convinced over dinner, that by keeping clean soil & conserving water, we can do our part to sustain our planet while staying healthy.
Shall we toast a tall glass of clean water to that notion?
I cannot wait to dine upon a David Bouley cooked meal again in the future, and especially knowing he has this state of the art food and body and soul in his vision. A special thank you to TOTO USA for this experience, an eye opener for certain!
Happy Nesting

height of convenience and
