I am pleased to participate in the exhibition “a chair is not alone — 52 stories of chairs —,” held at Ginza Sony Park from February 7 (Sat) to February 23 (Mon).

This exhibition features personal chairs from 52 individuals across various fields—artists, designers, architects, stylists, and shop owners—presented alongside the unique stories and memories attached to them. The displayed chairs are available for purchase, with a portion of the proceeds donated to charity.

I will be contributing one chair that has been a part of my daily life for many years. I hope you will have the opportunity to experience the narratives behind these well-loved objects.
