Question 1. How did you find out about Layout online?

I found out about it by chance when I happened to pass by the exhibit at the Tsuzuki Hankyu event hall.

Question 2. What made you want a rug?

I was inspired by the feel of the rug, its texture, and the way it felt when I sat on it during the test.
After that, I looked up the Nakameguro store on the internet and visited it.

Question 3. What made you choose the rug?

I bought a small rug to try out at the Tsuzuki Hankyu event space.
It's thick and comfortable to use, so I decided to purchase the 190cm size.

Question 4. What are your impressions after laying the rug?

I purchased a yellow rug, and when I actually laid it out in my room, it seemed to brighten up the room.

The long, fluffy fur makes it feel like you're sitting on a magic carpet.

Question 5. What are your concerns or worries about lag?

It's only the first day since I started using it, so there is a slight rug smell, and I'm wondering how long it will take to get rid of it.
Please try using it for a while and if it doesn't work, please let me know.

Question 6. Do you have any other advice for people looking for a rug?

It's definitely different from the rugs sold at mass retailers, so I'm looking forward to seeing how it changes as I use it.


We also received a report from Mr. F three months later.

The good things about having a rug

I no longer feel the hardness of the floor.

Also, since it was a fairly thick rug, I honestly thought it would be hot in the summer, but surprisingly, I didn't feel any heat at all, and it stayed dry and comfortable.

Problems with laying rugs

There are still loose hairs coming out, so cleaning that area is a bit of a hassle.

How does it feel to use?

It's so comfortable that you'll naturally want to lie down!
Unlike other rugs, it doesn't feel sticky even during the rainy season, which is a great thing.

Do Layout rugs offer value beyond their price?

To be honest, I don't think it's a cheap purchase.
However, at present it feels very good to use, and I think the feel and comfort are worth the price.
As I continue to use it, I think I will begin to see how durable and long-lasting it is, and feel that it is worth more than its price.

Other comments about using rugs and advice for those looking for rugs

The reason I was able to purchase this product was because I happened to be at an event where I had the opportunity to touch it and ask it a lot of questions. I feel that this is all thanks to Mr. Konno, who introduced me to it.
I think that with this kind of interior design, the "encounter" and "feeling" are important.
Rather than simply judging based on price, I think it's best to visit the store, see, touch, and ask questions.
You might come across a rug with a beautiful design that's perfect for you.
