お結び vol.10
かつて東海道の宿場町としてにぎわった静岡県藤枝市・岡部町では、人々は豊かな自然に寄り添い暮らしています。 山あいには茶畑が広がり、その脇を緩やかに流れる小川。風は枝葉を柔らかく揺らし、鳥の鳴き声が優しく響く。穏やかな里山の風景が残るここ岡部に、フランクは木工房を構えています。
Three hundred years ago, Okabe was one of the main roadside towns in Tokaido. Since then, many people have lived here, peacefully with nature. The scenery is so beautiful; green tea fields sit under the mountains, with small streams running in between. You can hear the gentle streams and birds sing in the soft breeze. Here in Okabe, you can find ‘Frank’ workshop.
Today, we have more things than we need, so we can afford to be wasteful. At Frank workshop, we pride ourselves in not being wasteful. We collect our wood from the mountains near our workshops. We also use authentic materials because we believe that products of high quality make our lives richer and happier.
一本の木が持つ個性に心を配り 木々の得手不得手を尊重する。 森からの命。余すことのないように 道具として丁寧にかたちづくる。 それが私たちの目指す理想のものづくりです。
We handle wood as though it were a child from nature. Each piece of wood has character and those unique features bring furniture to life. We work with the spirit of the wood.
