I’ve never needed a whole lot of room for my socks, but this set of drawers from designer Martin Sämmer would definitely fill the ticket. Designed to allow consumer customization through the ornate arrangement of compartments, the shelves aspire to a process of creative expression that will ‘transform’ the consumer into a “Design-Prosumer.” Paradigm shift or not, Mom would never have found those adult magazines If I’d hid them in these drawers.

吼!  看一看又好想裝修房子了啦....
我以後一定要把我家樓上搞一個有自己天空的地方!

Mid to small size building contractors are called “Komuten” (or Sekoya-san) in Japan. It sounds old-fashioned to us but it’s a nice term.　I may be getting a bit nostalgic since I had often worked with the people at these Komutens for my commissioned projects before I moved to the US, and the word means more than just a contractor to me… almost like a team of perfectionists.

Although things might have changed in the past two decades, when I see a precise construction and impeccable finish like in this house, I can’t deny thinking that there are still many Komutens in Japan that could meet Tadao Ando’s (almost sick) standard of excellence in building construction. Nissyo Kogyo, the general contractor for this house, sure looks like one of them.
