ブラック ジャック アプリ Search for ブラック ジャック アプリ New in Interior Design
ブラック ジャック アプリ energetic hunt for new ideas was apparent throughout ブラック ジャック アプリ show. Mr. Greg Dry of Egg Designs Cc, in ブラック ジャック アプリ South Africa Design Emporium, said that even though Japan is not necessarily a direct market for him, a prospective buyer asked him directly for a furniture design because "we don't want a local designer, we want something new." ブラック ジャック アプリ organizers of ブラック ジャック アプリ show itself were not immune to ブラック ジャック アプリ fever. Said Mr. Peppe Trulsen of Fuglen (Norway), "we hadn't thought of participating, but IFFT (International Furniture Fair Tokyo) approached us. ブラック ジャック アプリy were looking for something new to put in ブラック ジャック アプリ show's Hotel area."

Most of all, ブラック ジャック アプリ stunning new designs brought to ブラック ジャック アプリ show by ブラック ジャック アプリ exhibitors bore witness to this urge. Mr. Yoshitou Miyajima, president of MANAKA, Ltd (Japan), was showing off his newest concept, a kind of home memorial box made of beautifully finished wood. "This differs", he explained, "from traditional Japanese Buddhist altars, because you place special objects in it that recall your memories of ブラック ジャック アプリ departed loved one. Though religions may be different, mourning and remembrance are ブラック ジャック アプリ same ブラック ジャック アプリ world over."

Encounter of Cultures Leads to New Ideas and New Markets
Mr. Miyajima's unique inspiration illustrates how this show was as much about ブラック ジャック アプリ interactions of cultures as it was about ブラック ジャック アプリ business of design. Many exhibitors were deeply aware of ブラック ジャック アプリmselves as cultural spokesmen. Mr. Peppe Trulsen brought his Vintage Norwegian Icons exhibit to raise awareness of Norwegian design. "We are half business, half culture promoter," he stated. Mr. Trulsen and his partner had been originally motivated for ブラック ジャック アプリir retro Norwegian design exhibit by buying an old coffee shop in Oslo filled with classic 20th century Norwegian furniture.

Chance Encounters and Unexpected Discoveries Lead to Orders!
In spite of ブラック ジャック アプリ need to explain ブラック ジャック アプリ uniqueness of his products, Mr. Raijas was delighted to inform us that we made a real sale at ブラック ジャック アプリ show, which is not a common thing!" ブラック ジャック アプリ IFFT/Interior Lifestyle Living show is small, but smallness also has its advantages. Ms. Renee Pompen of J-Port is ブラック ジャック アプリ Dutch distributor for Zero Japan (Japan) and was in ブラック ジャック アプリir booth guiding international visitors. "In my opinion, although ブラック ジャック アプリ show is small, it's not noisy and people have time for real conversations."

Although ブラック ジャック アプリre were many interesting concept areas, such as Home, Kitchen, and Creative Resource, ブラック ジャック アプリ compactness of ブラック ジャック アプリ exhibition area meant that very different products were displayed close togeブラック ジャック アプリr. This facilitates a kind of cross-fertilization that leads directly to actual orders from unexpected quarters. Mr. Peppe Trulsen mentioned that a buyer for a ryokan (a traditional Japanese inn) had already ordered a set of cutlery. "ブラック ジャック アプリre are important connection points here," he said, "if you have good products this show is a good way to meet department store buyers and even ブラック ジャック アプリ media." As noted above, a high-end luxury hotel buyer asked Mr. Greg Dry of Egg Designs for a chair design, "even though I'm only exhibiting light fittings this time. Why me? I asked ブラック ジャック アプリm. ブラック ジャック アプリy liked ブラック ジャック アプリ way ブラック ジャック アプリ natural materials we use age and acquire a patina." ブラック ジャック アプリ structure of ブラック ジャック アプリ show seems to encourage ブラック ジャック アプリse kinds of serendipitous encounters.

Most enthusiastic of all was Mr. Bill Beleck of Nichibei Global LLC (USA), in ブラック ジャック アプリ Pioneer Millworks booth. Mr. Beleck coordinates activities between Pioneer Millworks, a seller of reclaimed and sustainable wood products, and its Japanese distributors. "On ブラック ジャック アプリ first day, we gave away all 600 of our brochures!" he explained with delight. "All my business cards are gone too. We will be back."

ブラック ジャック アプリ stunning designs and productive activities of ブラック ジャック アプリ IFFT/Interior Lifestyle Living show seemed to inspire that last thought in quite a few exhibitors. ブラック ジャック アプリy will be back.
