Interiors go to things

I often ask, "What do you do for a job?" I'm often asked that, but in fact, I'm sometimes confused about what to answer.

The glass showroom facing the street has a lot of lighting and vintage furniture, but there is no signboard or title like 〇〇ya on the front, and there is no price tag, so I don't even know if it's a store.

I feel that we often judge people's personality by looking at the things around them, such as their appearance, things around them, cars, and their homes.

Because of that, they dress up more than necessary, wear expensive things, and unexpectedly own things that do not fit their height.

When they go out, everyone goes out in a decent outfit, but at home, there should be many people who are naked, sloppy, wearing jerseys, and uniqlo underwear, and the parts that can't be seen are unexpectedly suitable.

When someone comes to your home, you may suddenly start cleaning up, not to welcome visitors, but because you want to show yourself well.

The emotions of "I want to be seen well by people" and "I want to show it well" are very normal as a person, but no matter how good-looking it is, it will be meaningless if the content is empty.

If you compare it to architecture, the exterior is novel and stylish, but the floor plan and interior are ordinary, or surprisingly difficult to use...

As the name suggests, interior means "inside the house".

In the past, "how to secure food, clothing and housing" was considered an indicator of wealth, and a life blessed with food, clothing and housing was directly related to happiness. However, nowadays, there are enough things to wear, eat, and live, and you can live without any inconvenience.

However, people cannot feel happy just by being materially satisfied.

In the words of Audrey Hepburn, "The most important thing is to enjoy life. Feeling happy, that's all. As it is said, "the richness of the heart" is more important than the "richness of things" such as convenience, function, and appearance in the home.

People who are attractive even when they grow up and get older have a beauty that shines from within.

In the same way, the house represents the inner side of the resident.

As the saying goes, "Buildings make people", houses make people who live there.

The real ideal interior is not to "live surrounded by your favorite things", but to create a home that thinks about "how to live".

Lighting is interesting, and whether it is an expensive chandelier or a cheap light bulb, the essence of "light" does not change.

"Light" does not have a visible shape in itself, and when the light shines on objects such as walls, it is reflected in people's eyes for the first time. " "Lights" create colors and scenes in the dark space, and beautiful and comfortable lights fascinate people and reass them just by being there.

Through the design of a space that incorporates such beautiful and comfortable lights, we help people to bring "richness of the heart" such as moisture, healing, and relaxation in people's hearts.
