Hello everyone.
This time, we interviewed ACTUS (Shinjuku store), a popular interior design shop.
The history of the first ACTUS store dates back 55 years ago.
It all began in 1969 when the store "Aoyama Sarun" opened on Aoyama-dori in Tokyo, selling imported furniture.
Actus has been dealing in high-quality products made by European craftsmen since its founding.
They have a wide range of products, from high-end to mid-range to casual,
Rather than simply selling items, they propose a "lifestyle" of "beautiful and careful living."
We ourselves often empathize with the products and atmosphere they handle.
This time, we will introduce you to a variety of "perspectives" that we think you should see when you visit ACTUS.
The second floor is impressive with its soft natural lighting.
One of the fun things about it is that the center of the second floor changes every time you go.
The thing that caught my eye the most was this transformable table.
Inheriting the design philosophy of Bauhaus,
TECTA is a brand that creates furniture that combines functionality and artistry.
One of TECTA's representative tables is the M21 table. *This is the M21-1, which is a size smaller.
A uniquely shaped tabletop and distinctive leg design.
Because of the table's shape, people don't sit directly opposite each other, which makes it easy to communicate naturally.
It's also nice that you can sit at different angles and share the table with multiple people.
There are also straight sections, so it doesn't look out of place not only in an island but also against a wall.
The holes create a sense of openness so that even a large table doesn't block the space.
The glass shelves give the unit a sharp, dignified look.
By the way, this is the limited edition Japan Black.
It's an Actus limited edition model with Japanese lacquer finish.
The standard model's cherry wood clear coating is also basic and nice.
Generally, chairs have four legs, but
B17 has a cantilever structure that is supported by only one leg.
Not only does it give you a neater look at your feet,
but it's beautifully made with only a few parts.
A long-selling, irregular side table from ACTUS.
The height can be adjusted,
It can be used as a side table for a sofa, a night table next to a bed, or for small tasks,
and it brings to mind all sorts of uses.
The handles on the support brackets for adjusting the height are also beautiful.
The L-shaped legs allow you to bring the tabletop closer to your body.
You can type a quick email for work on the sofa, so it's very practical.
The height can be adjusted from 46 to 76 cm,
so it can be used as a lightweight work desk that doesn't take up much space.
From international brands to domestic brands,
The wide selection of high-quality, sophisticated sofas is also a highlight.
In the past, the basic way to place a sofa was to place it against the wall facing the TV,
Nowadays, with smartphones and tablets becoming commonplace and more opportunities to work from home,
people are no longer tied to the placement of the TV, and can place it in the center of the room,
and there are now more sofas that can be sat on from multiple sides.
From here, we will look at popular sofas from overseas and domestic brands.
"eilersen" is a furniture brand founded in Denmark in 1895 as a carriage manufacturer.
A long-established brand that has been pursuing comfortable sofas for 130 years.
We will introduce three particularly popular models.
A popular sofa, "STREAMLINE," that is also used by many Actus staff members.
An authentic, timeless, simple design.
This sofa is designed to fit Japanese homes,
The seat depth is compact.
The armrests and backrest are also slim.
It's comfortable and relaxed, and the piping finish is soft and lovely.
The main body is a daybed-type chair called "PLAYGROUND" that can be sat on from any direction.
The backrest's bag form can be moved freely.
It's great that you can sit and use it in any way you like.
"RA" allows you to customize the length of the backrest, whether you want the armrests or not, etc.
It has a clean outline, but the inside is plump and voluminous.
The seat is neither too deep nor too shallow, just the right size.
The couch has a half back, so it doesn't feel oppressive,
and is easy to see through, so it's easy to place in the center of the room.
When you lie down, leaning your body against the large cushion,
it's so comfortable that you'll want to spend a while here.
Even just changing the upholstery can make a big difference in the impression.
Eilersen has a wide selection of fabric and leather upholstery.
Another great thing about Eilersen is that you can choose from a wide range of colors and materials to match the style of your room.
Looking around the showroom can also be a good idea for styling.
This sofa is Eilersen's BLOCK SOFA.
The atmosphere changes dramatically when you combine Scandinavian furniture with primitive items such as handicrafts.
It would be nice to combine Tendo Mokko chairs with handicrafts.
ACTUS original sofa "MITON"
This sofa has a large silhouette and is soft and fluffy to sit on.
A new material, low-resilience urethane foam, is used, which provides firm support for the hips and lower back.
It's so comfortable, I hope you'll sit on it!
Since it has no arms, you can sit on it from the side, and it's easy to sit cross-legged or lie down.
The four items are a one-seater, a two-seater, a big ottoman, and an ottoman.
You can combine them however you like, which is nice, as it gives you originality.
I personally like the size of this big ottoman.
This is a side table made especially for MITON.
It's also great to put it between the sofas and use it from both sides. This is great!
One of the highlights of ACTUS is that you can see kitchens from three domestic and overseas brands all in one place.
It is said to be the "quality index" of a kitchen, and is known for its high quality and durability.
German kitchen brand "Poggenpohl"
In Japan, it is often called a "system kitchen" in the sense of "equipment," but
In Europe, it is called "system furniture" and is considered to be "furniture."
The base is a modular unit like furniture,
and it seems that even if there is a problem, it can be partially replaced.
This is a traditional classic design,
but it's a very functional modern style that's in line with the times.
When I opened the door, I was impressed by the many functions that were thought out in every corner.
I was entranced by the beauty of the metal handle.
(Is it because of my job that I get a little happy just looking at it?)
When I picked up the panel sample, I was surprised at how heavy it was.
You can feel the high density of the material.
It looks sharp and light, but it's also very durable.
Even with all these heavy tile samples lined up, the drawers barely wobble.
The metal rails are installed underneath the drawers so they look beautiful even when they're open.
Poliform is a comprehensive interior brand for hospitality, focusing on harmony with the interior and the ultimate in luxury.
Poliform is a comprehensive interior brand for hospitality.
The snack counter in the front is designed to make you want to invite people in.
The handles on the doors are sharp, and the glass unit on the back is visually very beautiful.
The kitchen is also made by a Japanese builder.
The sculptural kitchen was designed by product designer Naoto Fukasawa.
It was realized through a collaboration between Naoto Fukasawa, Panasonic, and Actus.
The countertop and front are finished with quartz stone, which is harder than marble.
If you look closely, you'll see that the handles on the doors are connected.
The doors of the mask are cut from a single piece of wood.
The patterns are connected to create the beauty of the mask.
The neat fit makes it seem like one beautiful block.
You can also hide the detergent bottle by covering it with a sink accessory.
You can use the stainless steel sink accessories on the lowered deck to drain the dish.
The back work space is like a piece of furniture.
You'll want to store your cooking utensils like a collection.
This is "AOYAMA" by Naoto Fukasawa, Maruni Woodworks, and Actus.
Generally, the arm rests on the leg, but
this one is inserted into the leg from the side,
to accentuate the beauty of the front view, straight grain with beautiful vertical lines is used.
The slender yet slightly curved legs create a smart and sleek design.
The backrest is tilted further back than a normal chair,
It's so comfortable you'll want to lean back and relax.
This is a dining table from the same series.
The table top has no straight lines, and instead has an exquisite curve.
These curves feel wonderful when you touch them.
The skirting board has the same cut-out curved details as the chair.
You can order it in 10cm increments from 150 to 200cm,
but it's designed to look beautiful no matter what size it is.
As working from home becomes more common,
"FOUR Chair" is a work chair that blends in with the living room and dining room and can also be used for eating.
This product was made possible by the collaboration of four companies, Actus, Conde House, and Kokuyo, with the help of designer Hitoshi Kuramoto.
The posture and sitting position for eating and working are actually different.
When working, you should place your hips further back in the seat than when eating,
and keep your back straight.
The design is designed to prevent your spine from hitting the frame when you sit deep.
The legs are also beautiful with their sharp silhouette.
A beautiful work chair that blends seamlessly into a dining table.
This is the FOUR desk from the same series.
So that it won't be too heavy for a living room or dining room,
they don't have drawers, and instead use the space under the table as a shelf.
You can pull the top out to quickly store away gadgets on your desk
You can also prop up tablets and documents.
Now that we are adding more "work" to our homes, in addition to the basic necessities of "food, clothing and shelter," the FOUR series is even more appealing.
Children's furniture is also something parents with children should pay attention to.
In response to customer feedback that there were no stylish interior items for children,
they have been developing children's furniture since 1999.
The appeal is the design, which allows it to be placed in a corner of the living room and blend in with the other furniture.
Maximize use of small children's rooms in urban areas
The space under the bed can be used for storage, and the desk from the same series can also fit in.
The design allows children to play, learn, sleep, and spend their time in a child-like way,
but is also simple enough to be used even when the child grows up.
The linoleum top of the desk is a beautiful color.
With the spread of LEDs, there seems to be an increase in the variety of table lamp designs.
Lighting has the power to completely change the atmosphere of an interior. Actus has a great lineup.
When you come to Actus, you'll definitely see their fabrics and miscellaneous goods.
From selected items from Japan and Europe to original products.
Flower vases with a high level of design and texture,
Art-like objects are also enjoyable to look at.
Fabrics that are easy to incorporate into redecorating are fun to look at.
The blankets we recently added to our home were purchased at ACTUS. (I'll put a link in the description.)
They seem to be aware of trends when it comes to miscellaneous goods,
They had a wide selection of primitive items reminiscent of folk art.
The handcrafted, rustic feel will change the atmosphere of any room.
They have a wide selection of high-quality items that are original to ACTUS, and I personally think they're good value for money.
The interior green brand by Actus is also a category worth checking out.
NODERIUM proposes living together with plants from an interior design perspective.
There are impressive ornamental plants lined up, some with branches so large they reach the ceiling.
For some reason, a sofa is placed among the plants.
So that you can imagine what it would be like to have a potted plant in your home,
you can check the height while sitting on the sofa, which is a great idea that is typical of ACTUS.
There's also a table, so it's easy to imagine it in your home.
There are also planter covers that look like they would be easy to incorporate into your interior decor.
The grayish ceramic is also lovely.
This was designed in collaboration with product designer Fumie Shibata.
Based on the concept of "connecting plants with interior design",
The plump form with legs
is adorable, just like how we grow attached to plants.
The wood is kneaded by hand, so it takes a lot of work!
Terraces and verandas are "another living room for enjoying time at home."
ACTUS' outdoor furniture is designed to be placed on terraces that are seen as an extension of the interior,
and is made with a color scheme that easily matches the interior of the room.
Actually, it had rained that day...
The Batyline mesh seat is breathable and dries quickly.
It feels so smooth against the skin that it's hard to believe it had rained.
It's rare to find such beautiful outdoor furniture, so I'm happy.
The theme is "high-quality, careful living."
We carry fragrances, kitchen and cooking utensils, and even clothing.
"eauk" is an original brand that expresses "careful, comfortable living" through clothing.
From comfortable clothing to "home clothes." The theme is also appealing.
High-quality items made by European craftsmen
By incorporating them into Japanese life, we can obtain a rich space.
I was able to feel the essence of "beautiful and careful living."
I was able to empathize with ACTUS' sincere attitude toward manufacturing and
their way of thinking about life.
