In Suzaka, a town in the northeastern part of Nagano Prefecture that prospered as a world-famous silk reeling town from the Meiji to Showa periods, there is an unusual lumber shop called Takeuchi Mokuzai Co., Ltd., which has been operating a lumber business and construction company for nearly 100 years. .

What has changed is that Takeuchi Mokuzai Co., Ltd. now has an interior design department called Take Product .

This is a common story so far, but the theme of this <Take Product> is a little strange...

“From daily life to folk art and sometimes PUNK”

oh! I don't know what the words mean, but it's a great theme.

However, if you actually see the product, I think you will understand.

 

Takeuchi Mokuzai Co., Ltd. will be holding a pop-up called Take Products for the first time from October 28th (Friday) to November 6th (Sunday) .

The store sells products typical of a lumber shop, such as wooden cutting boards and accessories, as well as one-of-a-kind clothing made from vintage military and workwear remade with hand prints and patchwork.

A director with a unique background

Take Products brings out original and rebellious products to the world, but aren't you curious about the people who make them?

The director of Take Products is Toshimitsu Takeuchi, who has been active as a designer for domestic brands and famous select shops for many years.

Afterwards, he moved to Nagano Prefecture to take over the family business, and has had a unique career as an apparel designer before becoming an interior designer and architect.

Many people may know her because she has a deep knowledge of fashion and culture, and her blog is serialized in the popular lifestyle web magazine " HOUYHNHNM ".

The content of this blog is very interesting, from high-end brands to clothes from a certain fashion center, folk crafts from all over the world, art, music, and professional wrestling.The content of this blog is HENTAI -like and would surprise even Ichiro in his active days.

His sense of aesthetics cultivated through a wealth of experience and his predilection for the things he chooses from that sense are expressed in a humorous writing style that will make you laugh.

As a side note, you introduced me, Harada, in a past blog (thank you).

By the way, two of my favorite articles are `` The Father of Hokkaido Folk Crafts '' and `` The Thing of Design .''

If you haven't read Mr. Takeuchi's blog yet, please read it before the event. I'm sure you'll make a fool of yourself.

Director Toshimitsu Takeuchi.

I'm getting a little tired of the current feeling of confinement in the world.

In order to break out of this feeling of confinement, we planned to hold a challenging event, and this is the "Take Product " pop-up.

The streets are full of mundane things, but why not take a break from your boring daily life by touching a product with a lot of spirit?
