We visited a market held in the city of Arezzo in Tuscany, Italy in 2024. We thought it would be fun to hold an event like this in Japan, so we are planning this event. The participating brands will be from a wide range of genres, with 18 brands, the largest number of exhibitors to date, so in the first half we will introduce exhibitors such as food (coffee, craft beer, bread).
We held VERNACLE's real-life event, "VERNACLE Gathering #2." The next event will be a year-end party! We're expanding the scale of this year-end special, and we hope to create a lively atmosphere that will make you feel like you've wandered into a market overseas, so please come along!
"Hikimono" is a traditional Japanese technique of carving wood into round shapes to create tableware and furniture. "Hikimonojo 639" continues to produce modern output with its own unique interpretation while preserving tradition. As the number of craftsmen decreases due to the trend toward mechanization, their techniques and creativity are attracting attention from around the world.
Petrified wood is the fossilized remains of ancient plants from tens to hundreds of millions of years ago. Its greatest attraction is its mysterious patterns. The color is very complex because the reaction changes depending on the ingredients, and there are no two pieces with the same mysterious patterns. OAK Petrified Wood is the first store in Japan that specializes in interior design using petrified wood, and they provide us with carefully selected items from the production area.
Kyoichiro Washizu creates works using tea dyeing, which uses waste from the manufacturing process of tea, Shizuoka's core industry. His upcycling efforts are unique, as he processes tea leaves after boiling them into compost and recycles them. I was drawn in by the beautiful and tasteful geometric pattern of his work, "Aerial View of Tea Garden."
Memories of Italy is a brand that brings together beautiful everyday items that have been used in Italy. The brand was launched by designer Kaori Shiina and her partner Riccardo Nardi. The two, who lived in Milan and spent busy days as designers, were particularly drawn to the Orcia Valley while traveling around the country. The COVID-19 outbreak prompted them to move there in search of a life closer to nature.
This event will bring together not only artists and creators, but also buyers, media representatives and other professionals from various fields to discuss lifestyles over a glass of wine.
Brown Supply is an original brand that embodies VERNACLE's theme, "Life & Journey." In an age where things and information are overflowing and just living can be exhausting, we collect "things you need to feel comfortable and spend each day in a good mood."
Norihiko Kamei's work fuses Japanese aesthetics with a grand view of nature. How does he create such beautiful, mysterious art that seems to have been cut from the great outdoors into a small world? We explore the appeal of his mysterious works, where human intervention and the randomness of nature coexist.
"VERNACLE Gathering #1" is a real-life event by VERNACLE. The first time it was held, it was held at "Shiratosha" in Kiyosumi Shirakawa from February 21st (Friday) to 24th (Monday, holiday), 2025. Visitors were able to actually touch items that can usually only be seen online, and hear directly from the staff about the background of the products and the intentions behind their curation.
Arezzo, Italy, is a small city located in the eastern part of Tuscany. It has a historical background in arts and crafts, and is a place where the essence of Italian craftsmanship lives on. Even today, the tradition of craftsmanship remains strong. One event where you can feel the respect for history and pride in the artisans is the Arezzo Antiques Market. It is one of the largest flea markets in Italy, held on the first Sunday of every month and the day before, and I felt like I was touching the living history of the artisans.
Saburo lived in Germany for about three years in his twenties. After returning to Japan, he decided to make a living as an artist, and in search of new possibilities for expression with glass, he started learning from scratch at the Toyama Glass Art Institute. The hardness of glass changes depending on the temperature. There are many different techniques for doing so, which give rise to a variety of different expressions. There is no other material that can express so many different expressions, such as "transparent/opaque," "cold/warm," "hard/soft." I find the myriad varieties of glass fascinating.
