​PHILOSOPHY

日本のホゾ組みの技術は素晴らしく、

丁寧に取り組めば一生壊れない家具」は

出来上がってしまう。難しいのは

強度だけでなく『デザインの寿命』。

「一生涯、愛用できるものをデザインし、

魅力ある物に作り上げる」のは本当に難しい。

僕達のつくったものを依頼主は

ほぼ毎日、ほぼ一生使い続ける。
理詰めでデザインするのだけれど、

決断には勇気がいる。それができて、

本物の素材をつかって丁寧につくれば

『出来上がったときの美しさ』と

『年月が築く美しさ』を身にまとって、

次の世代にも愛用される物となる。

『毎日使っているけど、

やっぱり良いなあ、好きだなあ』と、

20年後も思える存在をつくりたい。
自分達よりもはるか年長の

百年育った木材を、愛し、恐れ、

敬意を表しつつ悩みながら、

ものづくり道は続く。

Japan's tenon and tenon assembly techniques are wonderful. If you approach it carefully,

``Furniture that will last a lifetime'' is completed.

What is difficult is not only the strength but also the longevity of the design.

 

“We design things that can be used for a lifetime, It is really difficult to create something that is attractive as a product.

 

​ what we made The client will continue to use it almost every day, almost for the rest of his life.

Although I design based on logic, it takes courage to make decisions.

 

If you can do that, use real materials, and make it carefully,

“Beauty when completed” and “Beauty built over time” It will become something that will be loved by the next generation. ​

 

"I use it every day and it's really good,

I like it." I want to create something that people will still think about 20 years from now.

Wood that has been grown for 100 years, much older than us, With love, fear, respect, and worry,

The path to manufacturing continues.
