Daily Life Seen from the Interior Vol.9

This is the 9th time.

When I heard the number 9, I thought of baseball.

I only watch baseball.

If you live in Hiroshima, you will be able to talk about the Hiroshima Carp to a certain extent.

I was born in Hiroshima, so I can at least name famous players without studying, and I go to see games several times a year.

It's a lot of fun to get excited about sports.

Everyone cheers on their favorite local team.

We have a history of overcoming difficult times together.

After the war, this shop supplied equipment free of charge to baseball teams that were on the verge of collapse.

Citizens who supported the team's operations.

The Carp are a baseball team loved by the local community.

Such is the baseball world.

This blog too.

I am working hard to liven up the Kyukai (9th inning/baseball world).

Although it is not a large organization like the Carp, I hope to be able to be of some use to others.

Good luck Carp.

Good luck, me.

Now, let's get to the main topic.

Why do you work in interior design?

Last time I wrote that work expresses one's way of life.

Although I wrote that in a cool way, I asked myself if I had given it 100%.

So that's it.

I would like to write about why I work in interior design.

First, a little background.

I went for dinner on my 20th birthday.

After we finished eating, my mother said, "Now that you're an adult, there's a restaurant you should know about."

The store I was taken to was the ACTUS Kyoto store.

*At that time, my parents lived in Kyoto.

The store was shining.

To me, it really sparkled like something out of a manga.

Until then, I didn't have any clear dreams and was in a state of wondering, "What should I do in the future?"

It was decided in an instant.

"Let's do interior work"

I did an internship at a furniture manufacturer and wanted to experience foreign interior design, so I decided to live abroad.

I got a job in interior design.

During my internship, I was told, "Good furniture is furniture that you can laugh about 20 years from now because of the scratches your child made on the day you bought it."

This quote determined my life.

The reason I started working in interior design was because "the interior design shop was really cool."

I was really lucky to be able to sneak into the ACTUS Hiroshima store.

After that, I met furniture, miscellaneous goods, and people that I had only seen in interior design magazines.

I became more and more fascinated by it.

Attractive product.

Seniors who love interior design.

Everyone was shining.

The interior is simply fun.

history.

design.

The impact on people.

Artisanal skills.

Changes over time.

Sense.

material.

And so on.

They are infinitely expanding.

There is no job that is more interesting to me.

And then I realized.

I want more and more people to know about the charm of interior design.

I've been doing this job for 13 years.

I think Japanese interior design has evolved even in this short period of time.

I think it will continue to evolve.

On the first page of a history book for a German office chair manufacturer:

It said, "Do the work that you feel is your calling."

Why do you work in interior design?

It's cool.

It's deep.

He taught me a lot of things.

I met a lot of interesting people.

It's still in the process of evolving.

It has a big impact on people's lives.

And a mission for myself.

That's the answer.

I got a little heated and ended up writing something cheesy.

"interior"

It's a sin.
