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.

Pacifica Collectives

Pacifica Collectives is an interior goods brand that advocates "the fusion of interior design and art. This store is the headquarters of the brand. The rugs, cushions, clocks, and other items are all works of art created by artists on canvas, and all of them make you want to collect them all. Not only the original items, but also selected artworks and antique goods are all in good taste and will make your wallet loose its purse strings.

Sandy Yang's Collage Art

. is the work of Sandy Yang , a collage artist based in Los Angeles. Her art is composed of familiar objects such as colored paper, scraps of loose-leaf notebooks, and tape. . Although they are commonplace, there is something rhythmic and comforting about their depth, placement, and color balance. . Perhaps this is because she is well versed in art and music. The simplicity of her work, which would fit easily into any interior, makes it ideal for art beginners.

Stomach Acres x Pacifica Collectives rugs

If the first thing that greets you when you get home is a happy rug like this one, you will feel as if you can finish your day in a fuller mood. This rug is a collaboration between the illustrator sisters' brand "StomacAke" and the store. The motif is a "Showa-era" brown Suga TV, but the combination of vivid colors makes it somewhat modern. Of course, the texture is soft and fluffy. It would be a good idea to place it under your desk.

Mary Elizabeth Yarborough Wall Clock

The Wehl Clock, created by California-based Mary Elizabeth Yarborough, brightens up a room with its unique acrylic coloring. Moreover, of the two colors available, black and white, the white one here has an unusual second hand that rotates backwards. The correct way to look at it is through a mirror, like in a bar or beauty parlor. It can also be a conversation starter when you invite friends over, and you can enjoy the feeling of "Tenet," a movie in which time is running backwards. That's what this wall clock is all about.

Morgan Peck Glass Vase

Los Angeles-based ceramicist Morgan Speck began her career creating mirrors, lamps, sculptures, and even vases in her backyard. Heavily influenced by the Mephisto Group, Bauhaus, Art Deco, and other studio potters who came before her, her work references Venetian glass and 19th century spongeware, a technique that brings speckles to the surface, but with a modern touch that is both understated and thoughtful.

Morgan Peck's glass base ¥59,800 in TAX

Vintage margarita mug

A stereotypical Mexican uncle with a magnificent mustache and a goofy expression on his face. . This mug was used at MACAYO'S MEXICAN KITCHEN, a long-established restaurant in the U.S., to hold margaritas, salsa sauce, chips, etc. It looks good for a taco party or to keep a tantalizing amount of candy and chocolates in his hat on a regular basis.

Sandy Yang x Pacifica Collectives rugs

A collaboration rug by Sandy Yang and Pacifica Collectives, also featured in the aforementioned collage art. Like the aforementioned work, this one, too, combines indescribable abstract patterns to express an original worldview. Depending on the viewer, the motifs will probably be perceived differently, and it will also depend on the mood one is in when looking at it. The more you look at it, the more you will be attracted to it, and the more you look at it, the more you will be attracted to it, all packed into a rectangle of 800 x 600 mm.
