Coming soon...

Actually we are preparing our Homepage these days. This is the first time for me to create homepage by my self... So I'm thinking to make it with "flash" or "dreamweaver".

Does anybody have some opinions?? We would like to share our portfolios, experiences, personalities and visions what we want to do together. We would like to share it as much as we can to the others, because it will be fun!

But honestly, we have many things that we couldn't organize them yet. These days we are waiting but I'm working as a consultant to built one big project in Salone del Mobile 2007 in this April!!!!

Picture in Salone 2006

But you know,,, Salone business is crazy, especially as you know( if you have visited salone, there is Fuori Salone that the city will be opened for furniture or some installations during the period of Salone, it's the biggest design week in the world),so that every places where is related to the exhibitions or showrooms, galleries are all occupied with a huge amount of money!!!!

If you curious about the price to book the space during the salone del mobile in Milan, it costs 1200 euro for 1 day...and from this year, we need to pay 1800 euro for publishing the name in catalogue.
You know what? Our rent costs 820 euro(share by 2 people) per a month.

And I realized that 1 euro is 155 Japanese Yen now!! I can't say like this but it's Fuc**n' expensive!!!! Europe is crazy! I will go back to Japan immediately when I finish my project in Milan!!!!!!!!!! ¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥

It's a big business, if you have a place in Milan where is located in hot areas for designers!

Birdhouse

Designer’s birdhouse

In our house, there are 2 special family members, I don’t know how old are they when we brought them home.

Instead of keep them in the jail, we are more prefer to keep them more space, so I spent 5 mins to create a birdhouse for one of them.

The material came from my honey’s shoes box, I’ve modified a little bit for the food and water container, also I prepare the step for the bird to go back home.


Tidy up itself

Some close-up view for the birdhouse!

waiting...

These days we are waiting... keep waiting, and waiting... for a long time...
"Italy is the country that they give a fantastic dream to the others."



When?? I can't remember but when our classmates all together and were talking about our 1 year in Milan, we all agreed with this phrase.

This country is amazing, if you will visit here as a tourist, you will never know that but when you will live here and try to apply "permission of stay"(this is really problem) or some competitions(this is the first time for us)... you will realize that things you dreamed before you come here was really dream. Nothing won't work in order, you have to wait wait wait, keep waiting...

But anyway it's Italian time, we have no choice...

"Fleshpot" stories??

Do you remember a movie "Moulin Rouge"?? It was talking about a night club in 1980's of Paris. The director was Baz・Luhrmann, he expressed a story surrounding the history of underground culture in Paris, in his original fantastic way. He was using a retro design dresses and musics combining with modern style as a musical show in the movie, and it shows us something that we can imagine the period that Moulin Rouge was prospered.

"In the closing decade of nineteenth century Paris a new period retrospectively christened La Belle Epoque ('the beautiful period') was born. As its name suggests, the Belle Epoque was characterised by relative calm, prosperity, enterprise and social freedom."

I saw a movie called "A memorial of Geisha", in Japanese it's "Sayuri" last year in Italy, this is also the story about a geisha house (a kind of traditional night club in Japan). Many classmates and friends asked me about the story of the movie is truth or not. But the important thing is not that it is truth or not, is that the story is the one that I can believe it's possible. I red the novel of this story, and it is written by an American novelist. He researched a lot about geisha story in Kyoto, I heard.

The same as him, I think these kinds of areas and histories are including a lot of sad but romantic, and dramatic stories inside. I can respect something and I feel humaneness in these kinds of stories.


In Paris, we have visited the place where Moulin Rouge is still there. It was quiet and becomes a tourist place, we can see many tourists taking photos around, so do we. But at night maybe we can still find some romantic but hidden stories in the same place... maybe.

Moulin Rouge is here!

Happy New Year 2007!

We would like to say "Happy New Year" to our friends who always visit this website~
