DESK LABO 三軒茶屋
DESK LABO’s new shop in Sangejaya
On Monday April 8th 2013 Desk Labo opened it doors after its move from Shoinjinja-mae to an upscale location along Chasawa dori in Sangejaya.FRA inc worked, in an enjoyable collaboration with the shop owner, on the new design and the execution was by a small contractor SCHOP.The shop sells mostly import stationary and the aim was to give the shop a feel of a shop window one would expect in London. Apparently a British customer gave the design tumbs up and said it was beautiful. Great to hear this from the owner.

UnNaked Tokyo 写真展に参加
UnNaked Tokyo
The title is a sly reference to the “Naked Tokyo” exhibitions http://www.nakedtokyo.com/ we have done in the past, but with the idea this one is a little different.
Because there is much ado about “unnaked.”
-Its the opposite of naked, though not quite.
-Its sometimes used to make a distinction between the state of not being quite naked (i.e. shirtless) and being not quite dressed.
-Its a knock on the door and your lover saying, “I’ll get that, since you’re getting unnaked.”
-Its not even a word, “unnaked”.
-Its art called out.

「ギャラリーイチヨー」
先日、素敵な展示を家族で見にいってきました。成城学園前にあるICHIYO というギャラリーです。長く続いたこのギャラリーも、今後のことを考えるということで、いったん、クルーズすることになったそうです。
クローズ前、最後の展示は、5人の作家さんのコラボレーション。ガラスに漆、笠間焼、そして唐津焼、南部テツ。どれも本当に素敵で、特別参加だという上野雄次さんという方の花もダイナミックでありつつ繊細で (詳しくはサイトをご覧ください)、目を奪われる作品ばかりだったのですが、子どもたちがギャラリー内を走り回ろうとするのを止めるのに必死で、数点しか写真は撮れませんでした、、、。
もちろん、本物はもっともっとすばらしく、欲しい物もたくさんあったのですが、財布とも相談の上、我が家で購入したのは、額賀さんのお抹茶茶碗と、伏見さんという方の朱塗りのお箸。
庭にある枝垂桜も満開に近く、心安らぐひと時をいただきました。ただ、最終日は7日(日)です。初日でも、かなりの作品がお嫁入りしていたようだったので、気になる方は少しでもお早めに。

DESK LABO 三軒茶屋
さて、今日も三茶のご報告です。
すでにペンキが塗り終わり（ブルーがとても鮮やかで、いいアクセントになっています）、ガラスも入り、そして照明もつきました。
あっという間に、引越し作業です。
このような広さのプロジェクトは、作業が進み出すと、すべてがとても早い。どんどん、進んでいく。大きいプロジェクトは、それはそれで感慨深いし、達成感もありますが、これはこれで、とても面白い。建物ができていく縮図を見るかのようです。
そんな、こちらのショップは、「DESK LABO」。オープンは4月8日の予定です。サイトも下記にご紹介しますので、是非、遊びに行ってみてください（コーヒー好きなら、隣のコーヒーショップも一緒に覗くことをおすすめします。でも、手間ひまかけてドリップしてくれるので、時間の余裕があるときに！）。
「DESK LABO」 http://www.desklabo.net/ （現在、お休み。4月上旬に再開の予定）
DESK LABO 三軒茶屋
現在、３つのプロジェクトが進行しています。一つは埼玉の動物病院、もう一つはつくばの平屋、そして三軒茶屋のショップの改装です。
中でも急ピッチで仕事が進んでいるのが、三茶のインポート文房具ショップ。
2月末からスタートし、4月頭にはオープンーーものすごいスピードです。
現在、外壁が進み、じきに内装も塗装が始まります。
雰囲気のあるレトロな木造建築で、隣には有名なコーヒーショップが。駅からのアクセスもよく、三茶近辺に遊びに行かれる方は、ぜひともお立ち寄りください。詳細はまた改めて。

TENT LONDON SEPTEMBER 22-25 2011
The new “knock-down” version of COLOUR & LINE CHAIR to be shown at TENT LONDON
After its debut at DesignTide Tokyo now for the first time on show in Europe the new prototype of our Colour & Line Chair. Constructed with a minimum amount of elements the chair offers a puzzle-like playfulness and geometric beauty through its lines and surfaces.
The basic concept of showing the connections and the interconnections of the elements in an honest way forms the base of its aesthetic. Its assembly method is minimal.
The seating element and backrest simply slot into the armrests and are held in place with wedges that remain visible as subtle details. This allows the chair to be stored and transported flat. Consistently made out of 18mm durable maple plywood, only the chairs surfaces are coloured leaving the wood grain exposed. The lines of the plywood layers are left blank while the whole chair is poly-urethane lacquered. Change the colours of the parts and an infinite number of combinations can be created. With this possibility of variation, the chair can fit any interior environment. And not only is the chair aesthetically good-looking but the slanted seating and backrest guarantee it is also comfortable in use. Except for a dining chair, a lounge chair and matching table can be produced as well.
See it, Buy it, Source it First

WAN Civic Buildings Award 2011 for Nebuta-no-ie Warasse (Nebuta House)
Winner of the WAN Civic Buildings Award, completed category: Nebuta House (Nebuta-no-ie Warasse), Aomori City, Japan
Nebuta House (Nebuta-no-ie Warasse), a museum and centre for creative culture in Japan wins the completed category of this year’s WAN Civic Buildings Award.
The WAN Civic Buildings Award, completed category has this year been awarded to molo, d&dt Arch and Frank la Rivière Architects Inc. for Nebuta House (Nebuta-no-ie Warasse). Nebuta House is a museum and centre for creative culture in the Northern Japanese city of Aomori and is inspired by the craftsmanship and spirit of the Nebuta Festival.
The Civic Buildings Award celebrates and promotes the best in international architecture for public use, attracting entries from all over the world. Fittingly the panel of judges was a highly experienced group who understand the complexities and opportunities in this sector. The jury included Lady Patricia Ann Hopkins – Co Founder of Hopkins Architects, Miles Delap – Partner at Gardiner & Theobald, Keith Williams – Founder of Keith Williams Architects, Morten Schmidt – Co-Founder of schmidt hammer lassen and Ralph Johnson – Design Principal at Perkins & Will.
An exciting shortlist included Sunset Chapel in Acapulco, Mexico. This chapel is the first religious commission for Bunker Arquitectura and is a chapel which appears as a magnificent rock that blends with its surrounding nature. Sunset Chapel was considered such a strong entry that it was awarded ‘Highly Commended’. Another very strong contender was Norihiko Dan
and Associates for their impressive tourism bureau on Sun Moon Lake in Nantou County, Taiwan. It was from this exceptional shortlist Nebuta House (Nebuta-no-ie Warasse) in Northern Japan was crowned the deserved winner.
Judges’ comments
A number of incredibly strong entries had the judges struggling to come to a shortlist. On reaching this shortlist they agreed that the civic submissions on the final list all offer hope and spirited design that encapsulate the very meaning of the term ‘public space’.
This notion of civic function was intrinsic to the jury’s decision process, with the majority of projects catching the eye of our jurors for their balance of strong architectural design and commitment to civic function. Keith Williams, Founding Partner of Keith Williams Architects was particularly taken with Larraz Arquitectos’ Shelter Home for the Homeless in Pamplona, which easily made the shortlist, commenting: “Many homeless people are untied over a social embarrassment about where they are, so a place like this where you are not under display would be quite a good thing.”
A number of schemes were praised for their easy integration into the surrounding landscape; JDS’s Holmenkollen Ski Jump was singled out for this purpose, alongside Bunker Arquitectura’s Sunset Chapel, both prominent figures in their communities yet sympathetic to the surrounding flora and fauna.
Selecting the winner in the completed category was harder still, but Nebuta House (Nebuta-no-ie Warasse), Aomori City, Japan was the most highly admired amongst the judges. Miles Delap, Partner at Gardiner & Theobald was particularly taken with the building: “It has the complexity that’s important in a civic building. It blends very nicely the community uses, the community art form which is obviously really interesting. The community art form is visually exciting and the building doesn’t compete with that but it has a really beautiful and lovely façade and depth to it that you don’t often see.”
Morten Schmidt, Co-Founder, schmidt hammer lassen, added that it was “a very modern building and very poetic”. He continued that “the project brings social energy and art and blends them together. A historical and traditional art form brought into a modern frame but done in a very elegant way”
Ralph Johnson, Principal and Design Director at Perkins+Will, Chicago also commented that Nebuta was “an interstitial space that transforms a black box function to create connections back to the city, with a façade of undulating individual shaped steel ribbons symbolizing the myth and tradition of this local festival.” Ending with saying that Nebuta is a “strong form which reinforces a specific regional-cultural tradition and becomes a year round civic amenity”

Nebuta-no-ie Warasse in Nikkei Architecture
The February 2011 (no 945) issue featured Nebuta-no-ie Warasse in a two page article. In the same period we collaborated with Nikkei Architecture and Hewlett-Packard on an article published in the March 2011 (no 947) issue. For about two we were asked to test run the large size HP Designjet T2300 eMFP printer-scanner-plotter. The fact that this printer can handle A0 size drawings, that it is also a scanner and its reasonable price-quality ration makes it an attractive machine, provided one has the space. We had to clear our living romm to do the test.

COLOR & LINE CHAIR AT DESIGNTIDE TOKYO 2010
CHAIR 1 COLOR & LINE CHAIR designed by Frank la Riviere Architects was selected for DESIGNTIDE TOKYO 2010 where we will exhibit its prototype.
DESIGNTIDE TOKYO is a trade show conceived with the vision of continually proposing new products, scenes and ideas. While focusing on interior design and commercial products, this event also brings together carefully selected work from a wide variety of fields. DESIGNTIDE TOKYO is an exhibition space for designers and artists to share ideas and outlooks, presenting from Tokyo to the world.
“CHAIR 1 COLOR & LINE CHAIR” can be assembled in almost infinite ways with its interchangeable parts made of different colors and materials. Although the chair is constructed with a minimum amount of elements-flat surfaces and lines-it also offers a puzzle-like playfulness and geometric beauty. With its possible variations, the chair can almost fit any interior environment. And not only is the chair aesthetically good-looking but it is also comfortably designed.
We are currently working on new furniture including tables and shelves, retaining the same concept to create a consistent series of products.

The removal of the scafolding made today the first day that the ribbon screen was visible on the full North side and partly on the East side after the installation had progressed smoothly. I reality a first glimps of how the building will look like eventually. The color is reminiscent of redish colors used in traditional Japanese architecture and may well evoke references to Japanese laquer ware. Difficult to purvey in photographs is that it’s true nature is that it is not exacly a red, or a brown or an ocer, but it has aaspect of all these color. The aim was that under different lighting conditions the color would show differently. By times more red, by times more orange or brownish.
For each ribbon the angle at the bottom is determined, while the top part is parralel to the building, but inbetween these fixed points the ribbons are bend without preset parameters. This means that the steelwokers will have to judge from the available drawings and the images of the model the extend of the bending. They have been doing their utmost to stay close to the images of the model interpreting, what is in the model strips of paper, into strips of steel (9 mm thick and 12 meter high, width of 300 mm) at a completely different scale. The scale factor is very important with regard to constructability and greatly dertermines in this case how much pre-forming is possible. But as can be seen in the images is that the end result is like “paper thin” sculpural strip that create a facade that is both open and closed, both solid and immaterial. The experience changes with movement and location, opening and closes views, shielding and revealing, raising curiosity with regard to the contents of this building.

To coincide with the Nebuta Festival a part of the facade screen has been erected on the north side (the redish bit on the sea side) of the building.
