Looking back on the history of modern fashion, there are designers who will be remembered for generations to come. Kenzo Takada, Thierry Mugler, Karl Lagerfeld, Rei Kawakubo, Yohji Yamamoto... They were the pioneers of ready-to-wear, and were instrumental in bringing a street style to a fashion world that until then had focused only on tradition. Another important figure who should not be forgotten is Paul Smith. By bringing a sense of humor to the clichéd world of traditional clothing and lowering the barriers to fashion, Paul Smith has offered clothing that even young people can enjoy. This year marks the 50th anniversary of the company's founding, and his witty creations have been further refined. The desk lamp introduced here is a collaboration with Anglepoise (®︎), another long-established British brand. This brand is said to be the originator of the spring-loaded arm lamp, and has released a series of industrial-inspired lights one after another. This desk lamp is an adaptation of the "TYPE 75," created in the 1970s, and is notable for its color scheme. The coloring of the lamp is based on the coloring of Paul Smith's customized 2016 Land Rover, making it a unique piece. If this lamp were on my desk, I would be able to work and read twice or three times faster.

Stores and brands rooted in local regions are attracting renewed attention. From the select store PHAETON in Ishikawa, to the construction materials recycling store ReBuilding Center JAPAN in Nagano, to the creative Shizuoka-based SEE SEE, there are more and more people who have given up on the fast pace of consumption in Tokyo and are now doing what they love at their own pace in their local communities. There is a growing number of people who have given up on fast-paced Tokyo and are now doing what they love at their own pace and in their own local communities. FIL" introduced here is one such example. Based in Minami-Oguni Town, located in the northeast of Kumamoto, this brand offers furniture and fragrances, and is characterized by its use of Oguni cedar, a local specialty. The fragrance uses Oguni cedar essential oil extracted at the company's own factory. The oil is made from the leaves that are disposed of when the trees are logged, and the fragrance is created by Paris-based perfumer Miya Niima. The potpourri, to which a few drops are added, is made of lava rock created by the eruption of Mt. Oguni cedar essential oil is combined with natural fragrances such as rosewood, patchouli, and frankincense to create a gentle scent that is both fresh and deep. The minimalist copper case is also a nice touch. FIL's locally rooted craftsmanship . This is something to keep an eye on.

The secret to a relaxing time at home , may lie in the scent. Just by making your home smell good, you can stabilize your mood, which in turn leads to a more relaxed mindset on a daily basis. Aroma candles, not air fresheners or deodorizers sold at mass merchandisers, but flickering flames that have a relaxing effect, will surely heal you after a hard day's work. HOUYHNHNM's is pushing G.W. Things, which just started this year. The first thing I like about this product is that it is in the shape of a beckoning cat (laughs). As the creator says, it took a lot of effort to reproduce the details, such as the beautifully raised right hand, ears, and face... the realistic expression on the face makes you want to say "wow" at first. Moreover, at 13 cm tall, it is quite large and seems to invite good fortune in a realistic way. The scent is a blend of natural soy wax made from soybeans and essential oils of bergamot, ylang-ylang, and cedarwood. Moreover, it is not to be underestimated, as it is said to relax, relieve stress, improve insomnia, and increase motivation. Incidentally, in addition to a series of objets d'art in a variety of shapes and sizes, the brand also offers a series of candles on vintage tableware. In the near future, they may become a revolutionary warrior in the candle world (laugh).
