<strong>LEXUS｜Interior Stylist Fumiko Sakuhara × Kurashi no Techo Editor-in-Chief Yataro Matsuura<br />Workshop Series Vol. 7 by "LEXUS" "A Good Relationship Between Things and Life"</strong><br /><br />The second-floor lounge, themed around the room of a fictional character called "Mr. LEXUS." The three speakers' talk flowed in a relaxed atmosphere, much like a home party.
<strong>LEXUS｜Interior Stylist Fumiko Sakuhara × Kurashi no Techo Editor-in-Chief Yataro Matsuura<br />Workshop Series Vol. 7 by "LEXUS" "A Good Relationship Between Things and Life"</strong><br /><br />The three exchanged views on their approaches to selecting objects. Laughter erupted at stories of past mistakes.
<strong>LEXUS｜Interior Stylist Fumiko Sakuhara × Kurashi no Techo Editor-in-Chief Yataro Matsuura<br />Workshop Series Vol. 7 by "LEXUS" "A Good Relationship Between Things and Life"</strong><br /><br />Sakuhara introduced interiors she had styled. This one is from HUGE magazine.
<strong>LEXUS｜Interior Stylist Fumiko Sakuhara × Kurashi no Techo Editor-in-Chief Yataro Matsuura<br />Workshop Series Vol. 7 by "LEXUS" "A Good Relationship Between Things and Life"</strong><br /><br />Objects that evoke the presence of their maker, or those that enrich time spent with others. Sakuhara's selection process is centered around people.
<strong>LEXUS｜Interior Stylist Fumiko Sakuhara × Kurashi no Techo Editor-in-Chief Yataro Matsuura<br />Workshop Series Vol. 7 by "LEXUS" "A Good Relationship Between Things and Life"</strong><br /><br />Matsuura stated that curiosity is essential for encountering objects. He advised that when you find something you like, you should buy it without fear of making a mistake and actually use it, as the experience gained will refine your taste.
<strong>LEXUS｜Interior Stylist Fumiko Sakuhara × Kurashi no Techo Editor-in-Chief Yataro Matsuura<br />Workshop Series Vol. 7 by "LEXUS" "A Good Relationship Between Things and Life"</strong><br /><br />Matsuura shared a "recently purchased item": Christofle salt and pepper shakers. These were originally for hotel use and difficult to obtain for individuals, but after eight months of persistent effort, he finally acquired them. He emphasized that desirable objects are not easily found, so when you do encounter them, you should not compromise or give up, even if it takes time.
<strong>LEXUS｜Interior Stylist Fumiko Sakuhara × Kurashi no Techo Editor-in-Chief Yataro Matsuura<br />Workshop Series Vol. 7 by "LEXUS" "A Good Relationship Between Things and Life"</strong><br /><br />Matsuura generously lent his personal books for a live display. These 47 volumes have significantly influenced him. The list is provided at the end of the article, so be sure to check it out.

<strong>LEXUS｜Interior Stylist Fumiko Sakuhara × Kurashi no Techo Editor-in-Chief Yataro Matsuura<br />Workshop Series Vol. 7 by "LEXUS" "A Good Relationship Between Things and Life"</strong><br /><br />By placing books with striking designs or personal favorites face-out and then arranging small items around them, the shelves came alive with a rich, dynamic expression.
<strong>LEXUS｜Interior Stylist Fumiko Sakuhara × Kurashi no Techo Editor-in-Chief Yataro Matsuura<br />Workshop Series Vol. 7 by "LEXUS" "A Good Relationship Between Things and Life"</strong><br /><br />Sakuhara proposed a display method that utilizes the book covers themselves as interior elements, featuring visually impactful designs or cherished titles. This approach seems easily replicable.
<strong>LEXUS｜Interior Stylist Fumiko Sakuhara × Kurashi no Techo Editor-in-Chief Yataro Matsuura<br />Workshop Series Vol. 7 by "LEXUS" "A Good Relationship Between Things and Life"</strong><br /><br />The small accessories used were all commonplace items. The idea of using a tin can as a bookend is particularly worth noting.
<strong>LEXUS｜Interior Stylist Fumiko Sakuhara × Kurashi no Techo Editor-in-Chief Yataro Matsuura<br />Workshop Series Vol. 7 by "LEXUS" "A Good Relationship Between Things and Life"</strong><br /><br />Participants were asked to bring items and books that evoke the theme of "new beginnings." The three speakers then engaged in a dialogue based on these contributions.
<strong>LEXUS｜Interior Stylist Fumiko Sakuhara × Kurashi no Techo Editor-in-Chief Yataro Matsuura<br />Workshop Series Vol. 7 by "LEXUS" "A Good Relationship Between Things and Life"</strong><br /><br />Items ranged from stationery to unexpected things like salt and olive oil. The three speakers listened intently to the stories shared by the participants, creating a warm atmosphere with occasional bursts of laughter.
