普段はオフィスや商業施設などの利用者が、快適に過ごせる空間の設計や演出を手掛けている田口裕都さん。今回、製品を製造する際、その裏で支えている技術者たちのモノづくりの神髄を実際に触れられる形で表現できないかと考え、オートバイに使われている精密部品を活用した家具づくりに挑戦しました。取り組みを通して、企業の“知られざる技術”や“職人の熱い思い”を次世代へ受け継いでいきたいと語る田口さんの思い描く未来とは？

Mr. Yuuto Taguchi typically designs and curates comfortable spaces for offices and commercial facilities. For this project, he sought a way to tangibly showcase the true essence of craftsmanship embodied by the engineers who support product manufacturing； to this end, he took on the challenge of creating furniture using precision components found in motorcycles. Mr. Taguchi speaks of his desire to pass on the “little-known technologies” of these companies and the “passionate dedication of their craftsmen” to the next generation. What kind of future does he envision?
