Unlikely Nakada Shinsuke's Materialistic Desire Recovery Diary. Vol.2 Hans J. Wegner's Valet Chair

I heard that Nakata also likes chairs and collects them.

It was completely influenced by Ura-Harajuku culture. At the time, Hiroshi Fujiwara, Jun Takahashi, NIGO, and Ikuya Fujii were introducing mid-century furniture, including the Eames shell chair, in magazine features.

I first saw them when I was in high school, and I didn't pay any attention to them at all because I didn't need a chair, but when I became a university student, there were more interior design features and special issues in magazines, and shops like Gallery 1950 and the so-called "Furniture Street" on Meguro Street started to attract attention, and I gradually became interested in them myself.

There were many good shops on Meguro Street.

That's right. I often visited stores like "Meister," "Modernica," and "Acme." Among them, "Meister" was really cool. I still remember a Jean Prouvé bench from the 1950s. I think it was probably used in a lecture hall, and I was impressed by how it was laid out by itself on the second floor of the store, creating such an impact.

After that, I went around to various shops, studied, and deepened my knowledge.
