PARTY BAG CHAIR HISTORY
THE PARTY BAG CHAIR is my masterpiece.
It looks just like a bag but is also a piece of art that becomes a chair.
Making things that make people smile is the best part of what I do.
I used to work for a designer office, working on the computer till late night and was quite happy, but really wanted more time with my family and my pet dog.
One day I was passing an interior design shop, saw a box. An idea came into my mind.
As soon as I returned home I started designing the image. From there I expanded my idea to other designs.
The party bag chair is to display as a piece of art and to surprise guests at the owner’s home.
My enthusiasm for this project never stopped, finally going to a furniture school teacher to discuss my design.
From there I started manufacture, sketching, using manufacturing machines (I never used before!), carving wood and started looking for materials for the products.
I was finally able to assemble a fantastic chair, using a material for a cushion part which was hand sewn.
I could not find a suitable handle, so had to also manufacture with leather and tools by hand.
When this chair was made, I felt total happiness and a satisfaction that is hard to describe.
I displayed THE PARTY BAG CHAIR at a school exhibition and had fantastic comments and encouragement from on lookers.
Initially I wanted to produce this chair for myself, but then felt that other will want this style of chair also. I then decided to manufacture this style in volume.
One half and year later I made a new piece that does not have a back rest and is lighter weight. I exhibited this new party bag chair at the Tokyo designer’s week, as a group display. There were many people interested in my piece, not just from Japan, but around the world. This became an unforgettable memory which inspired me later to find special materials and handles to improve the structure of the piece. Finally I found the best materials and best construction, ready to place an order, working in co-operation with a particular furniture shop.
My goal is to make people smile and see the fun in this unique and novel designer THE PART BAG CHAIR.
My decision to work for myself has let me spend more time with my pet dog Moco and I would like to have a happy life with my interior art work.
Thank you very much for reading the history and the story of the evolvement of my PARTY BAG CHAIR.
