HULS GALLERY SINGAPORE

[About]

━ How do you meet the Harus Gallery?

In 2016, Mr. Shibata, the representative of Harus, visited Aoyama Honten.
At that time, I usually served customers, but when I asked later, when I returned to Japan at that time, I saw our product at the Isetan Men's Museum, so I thought it was a beautiful brand. It was said that he checked it on the net and came to the store.

When I first came to the store, I purchased a money clip and coin case, but I thought it was a man who talked about the passion for leather for a long time. However, it is about an hour in a blink of an hour while talking plainly.

Since then, when I returned home, I often visited the store, gradually increased the Brooklyn collection, and was talking about each other's work while drinking coffee at Aoyama Honten. I knew it.
If you ask, you are going back and forth between Singapore and Japan.

━ What kind of company is Hals?

Based in Singapore, it is a company that is globally transmitting crafts with the concept of "a new path for crafts, across the sea." He is retailing and wholesale in Japan and overseas, planning and consulting for original products and exhibition events, and disseminating information by online media.

Shibata lives in Singapore, visits various craftsmanship throughout Japan every month, interviews Japanese traditional crafts, such as pottery and textiles, and has been buying. ( * Since 2020, it has been discontinued in view of the situation.)

In recent years, Singapore has been a place where contemporary art and technology are gathered not only in the Asian regions but also from around the world as a hub of art and culture.
HULS GALLERY SINGAPORE is in Duxton Hill, which is attracting attention as a new trendy place to visit art, gourmet, and traditional craft from all over the world.
It is a gallery with more than 100 works at all times.
Fly from Singapore to all over Japan, interviews the creators directly, and all of the products that sympathize with the concept and policy are all the highlights.

Frankly, I was impressed with the greatness of transmitting Japanese crafts from overseas to the world.
It is rich just to imagine that the delicate and dignified appearance of Japan craft is coexisted not only in Japan, but also in the life of overseas people.

━ How did you get to your efforts?

At one point, from the concept of Japanese craft culture,
I was told, "Can you handle the Brooklyn Museum persimmon astringent dyeing and indigo dyeing products?"
Both persimmon astringent dyeing and indigo dyeing are confident work that pursues the beauty of aging. A persimmon and indigo series that has many enthusiastic enthusiasts since the announcement about 20 years ago in Japan.
When overseas customers come to the Aoyama head office, there are many fans who are nominated as products that feel Japan, so I thought that this elegant aging would be pleased with this elegant aging in Singapore.
French calf, which has beautiful coloring, also starts at the same time.

Our manufacturing has a lot of things that you can't understand with just a perfect appearance, and the hassle is meaningful.

I think that there is a place that takes time and effort to use it for the first time when you use it.

In fact, when people who have purchased in Singapore return to Japan, they come to Aoyama head office and hear their impressions of the product.
He said, "It's so beautiful and aged."

I heard that you have a pop -up store in Singapore, but how was it at that time?

In 2018, we set up an atelier space in Isetan Cingapore and pop -up there.
I was surprised that some people were eagerly turning the camera.
It looks interesting the process of manufacturing.
There are some people who come back an hour later and take them again, and this kind of heat is good! and.
I also excitated, I had an eye contact with the customer, enjoyed conversation, and felt the atmosphere of overseas.

━ Is there any other product development?

Leather tray, jewelry case, golf ball case, etc.
We are collaborating with products that are close to lifestyle.

Asian European and American companies often have branches in Singapore, and various countries live.
Overseas, there are many home parties, so I wanted to provide items that would be close to the lifestyle of those who said that.

And in Singapore, there are quite a few prestigious golf courses, so the golf ball case for golf users has a great response.
Some say, "When I put it in as" my game color ", I got a good score!"

Utilizing user voices via Singapore, we are also praised for sale in Japan, as well as head cover and iron cover in addition to ball cases.

The scene changes, but I collaborated with a signboard like "Terra Tokyo Italian", which is taking Michelin in Singapore.
The chef is a Japanese of the same age. In fact, I heard that Japanese food culture is expressed in Italian cuisine, and it is a wonderful restaurant that is very particular about dishes and vessels.

I heard that a crafts event will be held at Aoyama Main Store, but what kind of event is it?

There is an original brand called "KORAI" based on the concept of "Ryo". It is a brand that expresses the harmony of "inside and outside" and "naturally living" in Japanese culture, and features a culture that incorporates cooling from nature, like the porch in the house. The elegance that gives a cool healing time to the life of the world of the world ... you can feel the calm wind just by imagining.

In particular, my favorite artpiece is "water bowl".
It is a vessel for loving the shadow of the water in a glass bowl.
I was just impressed by the idea of ​​enjoying the shadow of the shadow.

There are other wonderful works, so we would like our customers to see them.
We are planning an event where you can enjoy delicious alcohol, arranging leather products and crafts with common points of Made in Japan.
If the situation is calm, we will always hold it, so we look forward to it.
