【大和店スタッフ】インテリアから始めるサスティナブルな暮らし

nice to meet you.
This is Ito from the Yamato store staff.

Lately, I have been hearing the word sustainable a lot.
From the era of mass consumption, people's values ​​have finally changed from discarding things to living things that can be carefully nurtured to fit the lifestyle of the moment, and society is changing to become easier to live in, healthier, and lighter. I feel it.

TIP TOE, which we will introduce this time, is an interior brand from France.
Established in Paris in 2015, the idea is to combine beauty, convenience, durability, and be environmentally friendly.

The removable table legs are 75cm for convenient dining size and 45cm for coffee table size.

The matte texture and modern silhouette are stylish, and the structure is so simple that even a woman like me could install the legs in about 10 minutes.

The variety of colors has a mannish feel that is typical of France.
Each one has a name inspired by nature and plants.

I love the philosophy of creators and designers who can feel the botanical elements in physical materials such as rosemary green and eucalyptus gray.



We also recommend combining it with vintage tabletops that we have available.


Vintage table tops have a texture that comes from aging, such as the color of the wood and small scratches, which gives the space a sense of solidity that is different from a stand-up tabletop.


By combining the walnut-colored top plate with TIP TOE, it will not become too heavy and will be easy to match with modern spaces.
You can also combine reddish teakwood with colored legs for a Scandinavian style.


Ideas that allow you to change the top depending on your mood, temporarily remove the legs and use the space as a practice space, and keep it light without making it the main focus of furniture may be a good fit for today's times.


The other day, I went to the Jean Prouvé exhibition held at the Museum of Contemporary Art, Tokyo.
I was impressed by the philosophy of construction in the French furniture world and the simple beauty created by eliminating things.

TIP TOE has received a lot of influence from Jean Prouvé and Charlotte Perriand.
The fact that it can be disassembled opens up a variety of possibilities, and we pursue not only convenience but also beauty.


Once you buy a table, it is difficult to use it in any other way.
When you move, it doesn't match the atmosphere of your room, your family grows and you need something bigger, it's too big for your new house, etc.
There are many situations where you may have to part with your favorite furniture.

The great thing about TIP TOE is that it can be used for a variety of purposes, such as using a dining table as a study desk for children.

In addition, we use recyclable steel, aluminum, and wood from Europe as raw materials, creating a virtuous cycle from manufacturing to use and disposal.

Cheap fast brands that you can use for a few years and then throw away are convenient, but
We look forward to your visit so that we can help you choose items that are lovingly made and can be used for a long time, and help you shop to enrich your life.
