Eight reasons why Solso is chosen.

Solso, with its strength in proposals, attracts people from a variety of backgrounds.

To name a few of their previous jobs, they were staff members of a major theater company, select store press, engineers, baristas.... Many of them have come from outside the horticultural industry. Perhaps this is one of the reasons why Solso is not bound by the conventions of the horticultural industry of the past.

How are these career changers making the most of their origins and how are they working?

Mr. Morooka was working as an assistant stage manager for a major theater company. His interest in plants, which at the time was only as great as anyone else's, grew at an accelerated pace after he visited the "Solso" store.

So he thought about changing jobs, but the job opening requirement was that he had to have experience in horticulture. Still, Mr. Morooka was not ready to give up, so he put together a portfolio of what he could do if he joined the company and made his case. As a result, he passed with flying colors.

With his experience in stage construction, he laid the foundation of "Solso" by producing signboards in the early days of the company's establishment, and is now one of the veterans of the company, having been with the company for eight years, and is making efforts to train younger staff members.

. A year ago, after having a child, Ms. Ikeya joined the company because she saw great potential in plants and the fast-growing "sorso" business. . "Creating a cool space with plants and styling clothes are similar," says Ikeya. For example, coordinating clothes in a well-balanced manner and the crisp placement of plants are also similar, he says.
