Hello everyone, this is Ito.
In the previous article, we talked about cherry blossoms blooming, and in no time the street trees were turning fresh green.
These days, the breeze feels like early summer.
It's already been a month since the item arrived at Yamato store.
Although the amount of products in the store has decreased considerably, there are still many attractive items.
Today, I would like to introduce a lineup that is full of maniac charm and its story.
The first item is this shelf with beautiful pine wood grain.
In this way, it can be used as a sorting shelf for documents/letters etc. at post offices and offices.
I think it was used.
It's also cute to use as a storage for records and cassette tapes at home.
The ejection opening is U-shaped to make it easy to take out the paper, so
It is also recommended for use in stores to display postcards, etc.
Next, we would like to introduce a box-type bench called the Monk's Bench.
Monk, which is the origin of the name, means a monk.
It was actually used in churches.
The seat is a box with a lid, and because it functions as storage and a bench, it was a favorite item among monks who were restricted in the furniture and personal belongings they could bring into the monastery.
Initially, simple designs were the norm, but
As the number has become more popular, the number of designs with elaborate details has increased, and this one also has many classic yet eye-catching points such as decorative designs and wavy sides.
Also recommended as an entrance display.
Benches tend to be simple, but if you see something with a design like this in front of a store, you'll want to take a look.
At the Yamato store, there are many objects other than furniture that make you wonder what they were used for.
One of the most eye-catching items is this hand object.
A long-established experimental magnetic manufacturer founded in the Czech Republic in 1869.
Globe mold from JIPO (Jizerská porcelánka,sro).
It is used as pottery for molding rubber gloves.
Each one has a different thickness and size.
The deformed shape gives you a sense of its charm as an industrial product.
Whether you hang accessories on it or display it as an object, it will create a sense of playfulness and change the atmosphere.
This was subsequently used as a teaching material at school.
This item is called a chart poster. 
There are many illustrations used in biology and mathematics classes, etc.
Many of them are eye-catching, so they can be used as interior accents.
This item is made in Germany and is an illustrated poster of arthropods.
The colorful colors make it easy to match with pop interiors.
The large size is perfect for creating a space.
In addition to these, if you dig deeper, there are many niche products with interesting stories that are full of appeal.
Of course, products in good condition are attractive, but
If it was a school desk, there would be graffiti on the top and gum stuck to the back.
We put them in stores in as clean a condition as possible, but when we look at the locations of scratches, etc., we can imagine that this person used them in this way.
I think one of the charms of vintage furniture is the joy of getting a glimpse of the story of how someone used the product in some country .
I would be happy if everyone could find the criteria for selecting items to be interesting.
See you in the next blog.
