NakanoThe space behind the bookstore serves as my office. Originally, I opened the store to create a kind of shared office space where I could work and gather with my freelance colleagues. I myself used to work as a designer, so I had a lot of old books that I used as reference material, and I started the store with the manager, Ishii (Rika).

Nakano. I collect new and used books from Japan and abroad under the theme of "Japanese Art. Since I am a designer myself, there may be a large number of art books and photography collections in particular. I hope to convey the history and genealogy of Japanese art through the various books lined up in the store.

NakanoAs with any product, I'm not a fan of decorative things, so I prefer the simple design of Skagen's products.

NakanoI used to use a "G-Shock" all through my school years, but recently I've become estranged from it. . Not in a youthful sense, but I sometimes think that a smartphone is all I need.

Nakano. it's fascinating to enjoy various functions with this look and feel. For example, it's the same with old books, which are still analog, but they can be a source of new information for those who don't know their contents. I feel that this watch is similar to that feeling.

NakanoIt would be convenient to be able to press the side button on the watch , to ring the phone. I often lose track of it when I'm in a flurry of activity, so it would be helpful in those situations. . I would also like to use the function to count my steps.

NakanoSince there are a number of functions that link to the smartphone, I think it will inevitably become a part of our lives.

NakanoIs it "Moonlit Night in a Bag: The Zokei Poetry of Kitazono Katsue," which is a compilation of the works of Kitazono Katsue, a modernist poet of the Taisho era. . It's a book featuring the work of Kitazono, a photographer and poet I like very much. It is a book that condenses the aesthetics of subtraction and gives us a new insight into the concept of poetry. I feel that this aspect of the book has something in common with the design of "SKAGEN" as well.

rough wood. I guess the main reason is that I have always loved fashion. After I became independent, I spent some time away from work and traveled around Europe. During that time, I went to music festivals in England and stayed in London, and I realized once again that as a stylist I wanted to convey a world view that included clothes.

rough woodI work mainly for men's fashion magazines, but recently I have also been working on fashion projects for lifestyle magazines such as "Tarzan.

rough woodI like classic designs like the smartwatches from Skagen. Analog-style faces and leather straps are also suitable for mature people in their 20's and 30's. .

rough wood. I would be conscious of styling with a sense of comfort, while focusing mainly on loose-fitting items. I would like to propose a coordinated look with a smart watch from "Skagen".

rough wood. in fact, I've borrowed it many times for work. . but I didn't know that there were classic looking smartwatches, and it was a new discovery for me.

rough wood. I have recently started going to the gym, so I am glad that it supports the activity tracking feature. For example, I often travel by car for work, so I am now more conscious of walking more than usual by measuring the number of steps I take. Also, I sometimes go abroad on private trips, so I am glad that the system smoothly handles the conversion between local time and Japan time.

rough woodYes, it is. Aside from checking the time, I am sure that as we experiment with more features in the future, we will find them more convenient.
