Textile designer Suzuki Masaru
-The first installmentwatchThe refreshing blue was impressive. This is the second installment, and two colors will be joining the lineup: bright red and yellow.
First edition: Blue
Second edition: Red Yellow
Suzuki:When Blue was released, I thought that if I had other colors in it, it would be nice to be able to enjoy combining it with clothes, so I'm happy to be able to propose new colors with the release of the second edition.
-Why did you choose Red and Yellow?
Suzuki:The previous blue color was a color that soothes the mind, calms the feeling of panic, and gives you a cool mood, but this time I chose a color that would lift your spirits. I think color has power. These three colorswatchHowever, they support and support you in the desire to "have a relaxed day" or "put your spirit in."watchI hope it becomes.
-It's great to be able to choose according to your mood that day. Choosing your styling every day will be fun!
Suzuki:I think the impression of your clothes will change depending on the color you choose. I hope you enjoy the combination of colors. Even if you prefer monochrome clothes, we recommend trying to casually incorporate colors as a focal point. I think it will accent your outfit.
The motif is Suzuki Masaru's favorite cute four-legged animal
-The first motif was birds. How about this time?
Suzuki:This time, I tried using my favorite four-legged animal as a motif.
-What is your attraction to four-legged animals?
Suzuki:I think four-legged animals are a very familiar shape to us. For example, dogs can feel very friendly, with a variety of emotions, such as joy and anger. I think that by using such familiar animal shapes in your designs, it will be easier to convey the thoughts that are put into the color and the power that the color has. Also, I think the four-legged shape is simply cute.
-I see. The yellow motif is designed with a vertical gami pattern, so is it a lion and red a dog?
Suzuki:As for motifs, we would be happy if you could enjoy them by imagining the animals they like, using the customers' free image. I designed the yellow with a lion and the red with a horse, but it's fine to have the horse look like a dog or cat.
I also think that there are potential images depending on the animal. For example, lions are animals that symbolize strength. Therefore, it might be a good idea to wear it on days when you want to keep your spirits strong, such as on days when you have an important presentation.
-By putting your own message into motifs and colors,watchIt will become like an amulet. I feel like I can reset my feelings every time I see them.
watchUnique design and hardships
- When designing, textiles andwatchIs there any difference?
Suzuki:Textile designs can be freely cut out by items such as cushion covers and chairs, so there is no composition.watchIt was difficult to design something that has limitations in shape, such as in the case of a regular production.
-So, how did you create it?
Suzuki:At first,watchI designed it to suit the shape of this product, but that didn't work... So, first draw a picture and then do that picture.watchWe created this product using the technique of cutting out the shape. Therefore, the design of the collaboration watch iswatchIt does not fit in the shape of the product, and the pattern sticks out.
-The unconventional, relaxed design is wonderful.
Suzuki:Others includewatchThe material differs depending on the part, such as the belt and dial, so textiles also had a different challenge in terms of color adjustment.
--What do you mean?
Suzuki:The patterns on the belt and dial are connected, so I would like to match the colors, but the materials used for the belt and dial are different, so it was difficult to match the color of the printing. I've adjusted this many times.
-There have been many corrections, and the color is not out of place.
Suzuki:There were difficulties and challenges that were different from textiles, so it was fun to tackle them.
-The release is fun! I'm sure there are many customers looking forward to the second installment. Please send a message to such customers.
Suzuki:This series is designed around the desire to "enjoy color." Perhaps due to the downturn in the world due to the coronavirus outbreak, I feel that more and more works are unconsciously conveying color straightforwardly. This may be because they want to gain power from color. I hope that by adding the power of color to your life, it will make your everyday life even more gorgeous. Depending on the mood that day, you'll want to go with three colorswatchHave fun.
