物語が生まれる風景。そこに必要なのは、普遍的な魅力をもつ土地や自然、細部まで設けられた空間だけでなく、これらの場を引き立てる“生きた家具”だと、ASPLUNDは考えます。長きにわたり、家具づくりと正面から向き合うなかで私たちが追求してきたのは、フィリピン・セブ島をはじめとした熟練の職人たちによるクラフトマンシップ。素材の厳選をはじめ、精巧なカットや丁寧な編み込み、丹念な貼り合わせなどの職人の手仕事が、家具に命を吹き込みます。
Scenery that tells a story. Having universally attractive land or comfortable space isn’t quite enough. To bring them to life, ASPLUND believes that great furnishings need to inhabit those spaces. Over years and years of singleminded attention to great furniture making, we have pursued a level of craftsmanship attainable only by the most seasoned veterans, starting with the craftsmen of Cebu Island in the Philippines. From the strictest selection of materials to precision cutting, meticulous weaving and painstaking fitting, the handiwork displayed by these craftsmen breathes life into their creations.
