New Normal. New Thing. vol.1
Five stores and the things we want in the new era.

We now need masks everywhere we go, and we spend far more time at home. The unexpected arrival of the new normal has gradually changed not only our behavior, but also our values. In this new era, we would like to focus once again on five stores with different colors, such as "Bullpen," "I'm Okay," "Pacifica Collectives," "Bathhouse," and "Chibi. We have tried to think about what we should get in the new era from the viewpoints of both HOUYHNHNM's and stores. The things you want to buy are also perfect for gifts.

BULLPEN

HOUYHNHNM SELECT

Framed flower vase in bullpen

The presence of flowers in one's living space is enough to enrich one's life. Even if it is only a single flower. This frame-shaped flower vase is made by "Flat Furniture" based in Kochi Prefecture. Each piece is handcrafted by furniture craftsman Mr. Kise, so each one has a different look and feel that makes it worth examining. This one, a special order for Bullpen, has a more stylish frame with decorations. When you display flowers in a square frame like this, you realize that plants are living art.

Bubba Tree Basket

It is the season of scarves, gloves, knit hats, and other such items, so having a basket at the entrance or in the living room is very useful. This basket is handmade by skilled craftsmen in the Volga region of Ghana, the capital of Africa, one by one using a native African water plant called "elephant grass. While the coloring is subdued, the unique design is cute with its squishy, wavy appearance.

Baba Tree Basket M ¥22,000+TAX

Bullpen wood table lamp

Staring at a computer all day long can leave your eyes exhausted at night. At such times, we miss the dim light of a table lamp more than the dazzling fluorescent light. The chubby "Bullpen" original shape and the gentle texture of solid wood combine to make this lamp even more soothing. However, it is somewhat stylish, perhaps because it is inspired by a vintage pepper mill. Even if it cannot compete with the main lighting in terms of brightness, such as on a side table or beside the bed, it is a small and reliable gem.

Original Turned Wood Table Lamp ¥27,000+TAX

SHOP RECOMMEND

This one, specially ordered by Bullpen, is made of chestnut wood from Nagano Prefecture. The color of the wood will darken as it is used. The knock-down assembly is easy.
