Mr. Ken-mei Nagaoka is one of my most respect person.
When I knew his idea of long-life design and what his company actually doing as project, I was so much thrilled.
"Let's have another look at discontinued Japanese old products. Creative is not only keep creating new thing and throw away old thing. "
They started recycling 1960's good product design in Japan as project.
"KARIMOKU 60" is one of their representative work.
Karimoku is one of the old established furniture company in Japan.D&Department project restored Karimoku's discontinued design as long-life design as "Karimoku 60".
And now, "Karimoku 60" brand won young people's big sympathy and became big hit.
”D&Department” is their flag shop.
Furniture, kitchen ware, bag, close, CDs, Books... Used or new doesn't matter. It's a selected "Department store" of long-life design product.
There is Cafe at 1F as well.
Shop's building is also showing their reuse policy.
They intentionally picked up old building blend with the surroundings, and basically using as it is.
I really love this recycling idea and admire D&Department's works.
If you are interested in real Japanese life style, this flag shop is worth to visit.

ナガオカケンメイさんは私が最も尊敬する方の一人です。
「モノを新しく作っていくのではなく、既にあるものを活かしていこうよ」
と日本の昔からある優れたデザインの製品を復刻させ、デザインリサイクルしています。
ずっと家具の大量生産、使い捨てに何か疑問を持ち続けていた私にとって、
この思想を既に実行されているナガオカさんの存在を知った時は、本当に感激しました。
”同じ想いの人がいた!! ”って。
D&Departmentは彼の考えを体感できるFlag shop。
建物自体も古いビルをほぼそのままの形で活用しています。
売っているプロダクトもリサイクル製品かデザインのリサイクル品（新品）。
私が好きなのは使われなくなった学校の机の天板を切って作ったフォトフレーム。（写真下）
こういうアイディア、本当に大好き。
リサイクル家具の最もいい形がここではシステム化されているんです。
D&Departmentさん、本当に素晴らしい。
