The edge of the "tree" who connected two people who wanted to art since childhood
The flat and rice production offices in Uruma City, Okinawa Prefecture are woodworking products that are named in combination of two initials of Naomi Heianyama and Miki Yonezu. The appearance of wooden furniture and accessories created by combining the two people is cute and beautiful, and you can always keep it nearby.
When I was a child, Mr. Yonesu from Okinawa liked to turn the interior magazine at home and imagine what kind of interior the room would be, so I came to want to make my own furniture. 。 Before graduating from graduate school, I learned product design and pottery, and after graduating, I worked as a carpenter at a renovation company, gaining experience of manufacturing from various angles. Among them, a strong awareness of making wooden furniture, which I was interested in since childhood, grew.
Heianyama from Tokyo wants to learn art that he was good at since elementary school. After being fascinated by the prints I met in junior high school, I learned from the sculpture department of the arts high school and refined the expression using wood. After that, he went to the art university in Okinawa, where his paternal relatives are, majoring in sculptures.
In order to find a handicraft using wood, the two chosen as a school building was a woodworking training center in Okinawa Prefecture. The two, who were front and rear seats in the classroom, have a common experience in learning art in a wide range of art, and they are able to confront each other's works frankly.
I felt that if we did it together, we would be able to make something really good without being alone (Yonezu), so we decided to launch the production office together. Regardless of whether you start based on either idea, you can support the same woodworking technology at the training center, and you can support them with each specialty, so the biggest work created by two people is the biggest work. I think it is an strength.
An unexpected "Kawaii!" ]
We want to create a painted work, which is rare in Okinawan woodwork, and a wooden series that incorporates the edge of the enamel, such as Okinawa, is born.
"Both Yachimun and enamel are containers and tools that have long history and loved by people, but if the material is made of" wood "instead of pottery or enamel, you will be surprised. I was convinced that it would definitely be cute! "
An exquisite color that makes use of the natural wood grain, while it is a very enamel -like, clear red, blue and yellow edge. He seems to have struggled to find the paint as he wants, which can enhance the colors and grain. That's why looking at the fun expression when the customer sees the vessel, he is joyful and at the same time shouting, "I did it!"
The idea of "surprising humor" is that when you are shopping or reading a magazine during shopping, "What happens if you replace it with a tree? It is said that it is born from thinking.
I want to accompany my life as a vessel that I want to love unintentionally
What they aim for is "Product to Complete" where you can feel the attachment and want to use it for a long time. For that purpose, it is indispensable to care about everyday ease of use.
"If you use wood, it is lighter and easier to hold than pottery, but we will pursue ease of use, such as increasing the shape of the bottom so that the bowl is not turned over because it is not weighted (Yonosu). Mr. Miss)"
The wooden wood is made of Okinawan creams, sendan, and tabunoki, which have beautiful wood grain, and change the wood grain by changing the wood used in the same design vessel to increase the variations and enjoy the choice.
"I want you to love the softness of the unique wood, which is different from pottery and lacquer, so please touch the skin of the bowl (Yoneu).
A square -rice vessel with such a lovely presence that makes you want to take it out of the cupboard unintentionally. Be sure to experience the unique changes that the color deepens as you use it.
