sheep
羊は犬についで古い家畜化動物なのだそう。
約1万年近くの歴史があっても、そうなったプロセスは解明されていない。人間が羊に近づいたことから関係性は始まったと思ってしまうが、羊が人間の保護を求めて近づいて関係性が始まったのか?Disegnoの記事がとても面白い。
Sheep are said to be the second oldest domesticated animals after dogs.
Even though it has a history of nearly 10,000 years, the process by which it happened has not been elucidated. One would think that the relationship began when humans approached the sheep, but did the relationship begin when the sheep approached the humans to seek protection? Disegno's article is very interesting.

polaroid 1-2
ポラロイドにマニュアルモードの機能をつけたのは知らなかった。
デジタルは便利だけど、シャッターを押してカメラから出てくるその1枚は特別だ。
I didn't know that Polaroid had a manual mode function.
Digital is convenient, but that one shot that comes out of the camera after pressing the shutter is special.

revival
完全版が再上映。
公開当時は劇場で立ち見だったけど、今回なら落ち着いて見れそう。
The complete version LEON will be re-screened.
When it was first released, the theater was packed and I had to stand, but I think I'll be able to watch it in peace this time around.

asteroid city
日本でも9月に公開される ASTEROID CITY
スペインの農地で撮影されたそうなのだが、地下にインフラ工事して実際に街として機能するようにセットを作り上げたのだそう。撮影後にはすべて元の農地の状態にしたとdezeenの記事で伝えている。
ASTEROID CITY will be released in Japan in September.
The film was shot on farmland in Spain, and they built the infrastructure underground and built the set so that it would actually function as a city. After the filming, everything was restored to its original farmland state.(source: dezeen)

lawn
以前、撮影用に購入した芝生。
購入時は角刈りくらいだったのだが、いつの間にかドン・キングぐらいになった。
フワフワな感触が素晴らしい。成長日記を時折書くことにした。
I purchased this lawn for a photo shoot some time ago.
When I bought it, it was about the size of a square mow, but before I knew it, it was about the size of Don King.
The fluffy feeling is wonderful. I decided to write a growth diary from time to time.

dear design lover
source: t.e.
不意に届いたメール。出来ればこのメールがずっと届かない事を祈っていた。
Thomas Eyck(トーマス・アイク)さんが逝去された。
彼のデザインレーベル t.e.との付き合いは、クリスティン・メンデルツマの作品を扱うことから始まった。
トーマスは2007年から毎年1人か2人のデザイナーと、素材をテーマにものづくりを行っていた。職人とデザイナーをつなぎ、ユニークな作品を生み出す。彼と作品を手がけたデザイナーは、その後世界で活躍するデザイナーになった人もいて、僕は彼の活動に魅了されていた。
亡くなる直前に受けたインタビューでは、アルド・バッカーに t.e.最後の作品と自身の棺のデザインも依頼したと笑顔で語ったそう。彼は偉大なる"DESIGN LOVER"。
An email that arrived unexpectedly. I have been praying that I would not receive this email if possible.
Thomas Eyck has passed away.
His relationship with the design label t.e. began when we carried christien meindertsma's work in my store.
Thomas had been working with one or two designers each year since 2007, creating things with the theme of materials. He connected artisans and designers to create unique pieces. Some of the designers who worked with him have since become internationally renowned designers, and I was fascinated by his work.
In an interview he gave just before he passed away, he said that he commissioned Aldo Bakker to do his final work and that he also commissioned him to design his own coffin. He is a great DESIGN LOVER.

update
ここ数年、欧州の家具メーカーで廃番となっていた製品の復刻が続いている。
プロダクトが当時廃番品となってしまった主な要因は、需要と供給のバランスが取れなくなってしまったからであろう。
廃番品は現在も流通している。デザイン等、希少性の高いものは高額な価格で売買されているが、その反対もある。ここに含まれるプロダクトの中には、時代に合わせて少し手直しさえすれば、再び息を吹き返せると思うものがある。復刻ではなく、1つジャンルとして確立できるのではないだろうか。
Over the past few years, European furniture manufacturers have been reissuing products that had been discontinued.
The main reason why a product was discontinued at that time is probably because the balance between supply and demand has become unbalanced.
Discontinued products are still in circulation today. Products with high rarity, such as designs, are traded at high prices, but the opposite is also true. Some of the products included here could be brought back to life again if only slightly modified to fit the times. It would be possible to establish a genre not only to reissue furniture, but also to update the furniture in front of us.
