Yanabu Takashi here I run Yamarichi a plant-based iris brand I also run another company called Creative Enjinia Paradise Lately I've been almost entirely focused on my child I essentially share fragments of the scenery I personally experience through my lifestyle It just naturally captures things as they are since I'm not actively trying to grow my following or anything like that The apartment I currently live in is a compact 2LDK with an area of approximately 59 square meters The reason I chose this house is that I was originally looking in the area I'd lived in for a long time—Shibuya Higashi We ended up deciding to buy the place when we realized we'd need a slightly larger room since we'd just become parents during our search It's not quite a full-fledged concept for the home but In a minimalist space two designs that subtly evoke a Japanese warmth with wood-like tones while also featuring clean Nordic-inspired minimalism both stand out It feels like they're consciously aiming for something along the lines of what's commonly referred to as "Japan D " Originally when I bought it it was a newly renovated house that had been entirely wood-themed I felt the wood-like finish was a bit too much and didn't quite suit me so originally I was thinking of going for something more like raw concrete That's why I felt uneasy whenever the child stumbled a little so while exploring various materials we ended up choosing this white flooring currently in place It's a material used in hospitals and similar settings safe even if children chew on it We chose this material because it has a slightly cushioned feel making it safer for children to fall on—unlike concrete it reduces the risk of head injuries It's about considering both functionality and design The table is a Fritz Hansen Round Table It's an Arne Jacobsen design slightly larger than standard sizes purchased at my wife Tatte's request It's just a bit too large but as you can see when you pull it in it fits perfectly It's actually quite large—so big in fact that it's difficult to feed the child as the food is too far away to reach Since I often host home gatherings this size seems just right to place in the center of the living room Both of these are Fritz Hansen's Seven Chairs I bought this set inspired by that image These two are now completely unified in white making the room look quite white and slightly chilly Since I wanted to refine it a bit I thought it'd better not to overdo the wooden furniture or it might become too warm and cozy Conversely if you go all white everything—walls and floor—will be white A carefully balanced arrangement that subtly incorporates a single vintage chair by Boemont Ensen J39 It's not about being overly particular but I do pay attention to it This is the Ergo lighting by Reefar It might be a bit hard to tell from the video bu This glass section has a grayish tint I was drawn to this piece because of the way the gray sections and the inner electrical elements subtly shift in appearance depending on the viewing angle—truly beautiful It's a lamp The mountain in the background is Nangar Parbat photographed by my friend the photographer ABE Yusuke in Nepal I have a photo of him displayed here It was just a little while ago When I went back in time I was managing a company with dozens of people At that time when I went to Abe' s place and mentioned wanting to draw a new picture Abe said that whenever he looked at this mountain The mountain's peak gleams brilliantly in the sunlight appearing incredibly radiant in this shape Actually just looking at this mountain you can't see much at all—it's like the tip of an iceberg The base of it is incredibly massive Nangaparbat itself is one of the highest mountains in the world by elevation It' s exceptionally tall largely because of its massive base and extensive foothills What really stands out I think is not necessarily the top position but rather the overall presence—something that becomes apparent when you're talking and drinking together like how a company's management might come across While she appears on various media outlets it's because so many staff members support her behind the scenes so I'd like to hear you talk about how she's able to shine like that The photo I bought because it really resonated with me personally As a piece of art it carries my thoughts… Yes because it holds memories Even though he comes to the copper wire every morning just to have coffee the photo he sees every day serves as a reminder not to forget his original intentions There's a renowned interior designer named Mr Morita and one of his notable works is called "Brain " According to the explanation the idea is that a person's character and humanity somehow come through in the books they read When I heard that concept I truly felt the same and depending on the moment I'd find myself drawn to books on art I consult finance books from time to time but what stands out is how they reveal my own emotions and humanity at the time and the concept of the work itself is excellent The photograph I purchased which I find visually striking and beautifully styled as interior art I'm creating this as a decorative interior piece personally but the lighting is a frosted bulb It's one of those popular products you often see on Instagram lately but it 's quite bright so it's better suited for nighttime rather than daytime use I sometimes use it when reading books aloud to my child at night because it's very lightweight and easy to handle It's convenient to move around Also the code is quite long An art book is stacked on top with a stool underneath The stool is 60 A popular item from Altech Use it as a side table when lounging on the sofa or to set down your coffee while watching movies We also have home parties from time to time so these are the stools we use during those gatherings This is the workspace right I'm shooting by the window I generally prefer brighter spots over darker ones so I use the window area Also since space is limited Since we wanted to minimize waste as much as possible this house itself is the focus We bought a newly renovated home but with additional renovations we're updating the flooring and so on I had this desk made and also the storage shelf I'll be introducing next—both made by the same craftsman His name is Shoma Yamamoto It's also something made by a friend who's an interior designer the concept or request was simply that the desk shouldn't feel like it was just floating I really wanted it to feel like a natural part of the home so I had the surface painted white to match the floor coordinated the sides with the rest of the interior and had it custom-made accordingly This area also has slanted shelves—probably many renters like everyone else are wondering what to do with this awkward space I think you're bound to have concerns but this purchase property allows for a custom-made vertical curtain It's a custom-built pitch of course but also angled to match the layout—this side is designated for my wife and it's the current model of the wheeled chair Although considered current production it's actually been used a bit longer having come in annually and it's a complete vintage piece just like the Wychair I use two of them interchangeably I actually spend more time working at home but this vintage chair is slightly lower in seat height It's designed according to the human proportions of people from earlier times The current model is more expensive because its average size has increased but since this one is lower it fits me perfectly I usually use this vintage one This is the book my wife is about to read It seems she aims to read around 100 books a year There's a wide variety including novels aside from business books and probably parenting guides too so it really feels like they're stacking everything together I happen to like keeping things organized so even if I'm supposed to stack them properly I still end up leaving them untidy—so I'm ordering it this way It feels nicely stacked right now If I were to do the stacking though it would be magazines like interior design ones The only books I read during work breaks or refer to for design inspiration are the ones I've collected for relaxation I'm completely surrounded by my wife 's books just like the plant-based YumRitch ice cream brand I just introduced in my self-introduction I'm doing it myself you see—that's the ice cup I'm just checking the scale a bit Whenever I'm working on some material I end up bringing things home and just leaving them there untouched like in a paradise for creative agencies I also run a company where I serve as an executive and I've entrusted the creative work to them The designer itself was created by commissioning a French designer We wanted to build a brand for this ice cream that would succeed internationally Since it was a brand we had created ourselves we decided to go ahead and commission a designer based in Paris France This is also the shelf made for Mr Shoma Konimoto the company called 10 as mentioned earlier The child is still only two and quite small so while there are these everyday-style fasteners around here Even though I've lived here for years the biggest source of stress has been when arranging furniture the surface ends up uneven and creates a small gap The empty space where furniture doesn't quite fit isn't necessary yet we force it to be filled inevitably creating wasted space There was an unsettling feeling about it so when I bought it I made sure not to get furniture from such places and instead had it completely rebuilt from scratch It's something that was made for me isn't it This one also matches the tone of the other woods and since I dislike waste that's why I didn’t really want to add handles or anything so I’ll just try prying it open with my fingers a bit since that’s the idea—opening it using a finger hook Adjust the pitch size to be as far apart as possible For example there's no interference here but this is the specification It's called a unit I suppose—this one itself is like a piece of design a very beautifully crafted shelf that I really love It also has excellent storage capacity so Everything from notebooks and pens to daily necessities is all included in here I've had this record player for quite some time now and there's a record inside it Just set the records I usually listen to a bit higher up now there's RAI's record here This one is also something I use almost every day in regular playback This is Marshall's portable speaker yes Originally it was used for placing larger amps but Kids might touch it and I don’t really listen to music at that volume these days so a portable speaker should be fine I bring it along whenever I'm driving so it's been pretty handy It's actually quite popular right now and it's called the Leader I don't think this is something typical of Japan where marble or such interior elements aren't really common either And lately gradually influenced by trends in Europe I get the sense that things like this have become somewhat popular now Things like these ceramics are the same really I don't think ceramics are often placed in Japanese interiors This is Ronwi a renowned and historic French ceramics brand but I personally enjoy mixing in such pieces quite a bit The color is white which complements the home and while the hue matches both ceramic and marble the texture has been changed to create a more solid feel in this area This lamp is the same yes I use this portable lamp regularly in my child's room and I find many different ways to use it It's also made of plastic with a different texture but the look is unified in white This one too is the same as the one introduced earlier in the dining area These are the works of my friend the photographer Yuusuke Abe When I was buying this house I was wondering how I'd handle this wall Even though there's quite a bit of wall space I was absolutely determined to have art here but since I don’t have a lifestyle that includes things like a TV at home a television never came When I'm usually sitting on the sofa facing forward I've decided to hang the largest most calming artwork possible whenever I think "What would be nice right now " I heard it was an amazing photo taken right at the pharmacy so I said "Let me see " and this is what I was shown bought this house at the same time our child was born a vibrant photo full of life taken on this auspicious island known for its healing springs It's the kind of image you can gaze at endlessly without ever growing tired It's incredibly calming I really like this aspect Made with acrylic panels I wanted to keep the edges and details as minimal as possible this time A photograph with acrylic instead of a frame securely coated with a metal backing just like this one That sofa right there sitting proudly in the center of the room A must-have for any parent with kids Flanders Sofa's Siesta—a popular sofa from a domestic brand—features this distinctive surface texture It has a slightly leathery texture but it's actually made from Toré's synthetic material—water -resistant and stain-resistant This is especially important as a child is about to be born I was worried it might look too plain if I went back to something like the leather I used to have so I kept thinking about something easy to maintain You might think it'd be fine if it were fabric but actually many fabrics don't budge at all when it comes to stains That’s when you spray it on and quickly vacuum it up—apparently it really removes stains the material is excellent and you know how it is with sofas they always seem to get messy Good overseas brands often don’t fit well in Japanese homes so I ended up choosing domestic brand sofas—though there was a time when I did buy quite a few overseas brands but then when I add cushions they fit just right Adding cushions makes it feel like a foreign brand but even with them it ends up feeling stiff like you shouldn't even touch it and strangely enough sitting on it for too long actually makes you tired I really think it's great when a Japanese brand fits the Japanese size so perfectly In reality the milk is truly reliable and my child spills it all the time Caught a cold at daycare and kept sticking nose-blowing stickers on it so it's also easy to clean and even though I've gotten it pretty dirty since buying it I was wondering if there might be a water leak though As you've seen with this house the floor is completely white and parts of it were once a kitchen along with this kind of furniture Among materials with a wood- like texture since the color is basically monochrome I'd like to add a touch of accent so to speak Originally when spreading the image of Rilove on platforms like Pinterest the one that was pure blue was I thought a white bed with a bright blue tone would look really cool but my wife said the blue felt a bit too cold I'd already decided to buy the green artwork first so I thought a similar green-toned furniture would go well with it That's the feel of placing the green right there The kitchen well it's exactly as it was when I originally bought it—still in the same condition as when I first purchased it just like the property was when I first renovated it Honestly I wasn't particularly fond of this wood at first but since modifying it would exceed the budget we had to stick with it We've centered our thinking around this quite a bit As a result right here behind although I originally thought most people would place it in the kitchen I felt it would better to have some creativity here so I had Yamamoto Shoma handle this interior design and renovation upgrade and he’s already measured the pitch here too I wanted to fit everything snugly so I had these top and bottom pieces made to maximize storage space When considering how this wood would relate to the rest of the design That feels about right so the other shelves kind of give off the vibe of just getting started now Since we can't move this wooden piece It's designed to blend naturally with the living room storage unit creating a clean cohesive look Storage-wise since there are these walls and such regular shelving just won't fit neatly so ultimately we'll have to get this custom-made Because it was custom-made unlike hinged doors this type of door allows for more storage space even in a small kitchen with two people present Since I have kids I'm a bit worried about things falling during an earthquake if it's a door that opens and closes but with this nothing really falls down in the first place That's the general idea with this type of setup Inside this lower section over here there's a trash can which many people tend to struggle with right I'd like to go outside but it's cumbersome to go out every time and besides it would ruin the exterior appearance so what should I do It's inconvenient to keep it inside the house it smells bad and I originally wanted to put the trash can in this storage space Place the order it's like a drawer and that's how it was arranged Why there are a few trash cans inside this thing Is this everything in the storage The trash can and then things like bags that kind of stuff Surprisingly when you live with it Throwing this away like this doesn't really bother me and honestly there's no issue with it—this is something I really like I'm also trying to store as much household electronics as possible That's why this area was made with certain items that my wife frequently uses in daily life and that she'd like to keep conveniently placed on top It's placed up there but even in high-end apartments or very spacious homes isn't the kitchen space here surprisingly narrow So without a counter behind or this unit the kitchen wouldn't really work so we've made sure to keep quite a bit of movable space here Since we wanted plenty of space to work with we ordered accordingly—ensuring this area was just wide enough for two people to pass through while also securing room for the workbench The custom-built pieces we ordered are the kitchen storage the workspace table and the living room' s so additional renovations are also Almost exactly this is the additional workbench for the furniture Apart from that I really wanted to go full skeleton doing exactly what I wanted but it's been tricky—budget constraints make it tough—still I'm really loving it today Since both my wife and I enjoy drinking having something like whiskey and wine cellars makes it even more fun to host home parties especially since the pandemic The biggest change has been having children but since dining out has become difficult having a wine cellar is really convenient after all After the kids went to bed I might have a glass of wine or something like that—just a little drink now and then maybe mixing it up a bit so it's pretty much along those lines Wine is especially tricky to store properly so having a cellar is really convenient I'm a bit caught up in this home party right now but I think I'll go with gin and whiskey Why gin though Wine whiskey gin There are a few affordable options around here but there's also some excellent gift gin available It's just gotten wintertime now so Yangming Liquor' s been paying a bit more attention to health lately The kitchen light I just turn it on for a second but when I'm actually scrubbing away with that scratchy sound this lighting works fine however for regular relaxed meal times With so many kitchen lights it's just too bright and feels too lived-in don't you think When I look at homes overseas they manage to look perfectly fine even when it's super dim Japan since it's inevitably already renovated from the start whenever I don't want to use this I can change it with the lighting here and reflect it right there It's not clear why today in particular but since there's plenty of light at night there are definitely some key points to consider in the styling around here Which lighting is that Oh it's Artwork Studio right It gives a really great value-for-money impression Although lighting was supposedly designed to be installed here I'm not particularly fond of overly bright spaces so even among the ones we've featured in today's shoot There's also a dimmable pendant in the living area and in fact we usually manage just fine with this one light in the kitchen area I've kept it mostly centered around indirect lighting Are there photos of the two of you in the video Probably quite a few I'd say This is truly more like my wife's family's culture or perhaps European culture really Even when visiting her family home there are always countless family photos everywhere After dating my wife and getting married it's been over six years in total so I've become quite accustomed to it or perhaps deeply immersed in it So I keep my family photos out at work just like anyone else and at home it's the same—photos of memories with my wife She decorates the space with photos of the cat she used to buy and this area in particular is all about her—this artwork too is the first piece she ever purchased That's why I've put it up here It's called " Stop Wishing Start Doing " meaning it's time to stop just hoping and start taking action This one's also from Nhon-chan who's a close friend She's a female artist who's currently skyrocketing in popularity and with her artwork displayed here this space has become a full-fledged wife's zone Also regarding household appliances my wife has particular preferences and since she works full-time we share childcare responsibilities equally We try to automate as much as possible so even though our cleaning robot is already doing a great job we're aiming to incorporate even more automated solutions With this Panasonic Brastop model I don't usually use much but having it set up like this means it's ready by nightfall I try to be as careful with money as possible Until we had children I always thought that kind of feature would only be used a few times a year Even though I still honestly use it all the time that's not the point the real importance is that when something comes up having a complete set on hand means you can handle it right away which is truly crucial Even when making baked sweet potatoes that kids love it's great because you can achieve the perfect fluffy texture Lights and small accessories I suppose There's really nothing that fits perfectly and the living room has actually been left exposed all along Rather than deliberately choosing we just haven't found anything that quite fits yet—ideas like Peach or more obvious options were considered but nothing felt right I also don’t like having lighting here that draws too much attention so I haven’t changed it The kitchen itself is something I really love though It's easier to change than furniture so I love decorating with lighting and small accessories especially flowers I occasionally buy nice items like vases whenever I find them considering my life with children I think two would be about right One is a fully automatic washing and drying machine and the other is a basic but functional robot —specifically a cleaning robot These two items have become absolutely essential to daily life It's not an exaggeration to say that dual- income households are struggling to get by The fully automatic model is by Panasonic and the cleaning robot is under the ECOBOX brand The dryer performed well in drying reviews making wrinkles less likely whereas there's quite a noticeable difference with the cleaning robot I'm not sure right now but two or three years ago there was still a significant difference—back then including my own office I was using around four devices Among obstacles that make you fall if you don't properly recognize them and items you're told to collect but are actually scattered around it's reassuring that you actually pick them up properly Since mopping can be done cleanly it goes without saying that the machine also automatically cleans and wrings out the mop for you The mop-equipped model from EcoBucks is highly recommended because it handles both sweeping and mopping effortlessly I think that's what everyone feels—whether the item blends into the entire room or not or whether it's intentionally kept distinct What kind of style are we talking about anyway Let's prioritize this first and narrow it down The other one is timeless appeal Since I personally value things that last a long time I avoid buying things that might go out of style soon Otherwise I look for items that I can enjoy aging with over time aside from design Those are the three main points Thank you very much for today Thank you
