Rooms that are particular about furniture and rooms with high design are good, but are you worried about "craftsmen's workplace" or "creator's workplace" surrounded by practical items?

Surely, there must be a unique commitment to "creative professionals" ...

This time, we visited the workplace of MetAcraft, a creator group that fluttered now, and asked about the commitment to creating a space.

A space where surprising collaboration is born "Rainbow Warehouse"

is a group and planning and production company that gathers various creators.

Their Creators, a representative of Tarutaro Saijo, are working as a team in parallel with each individual's activities, their creative areas are digital installations, video works, smartphone apps, web media, toys.There are a wide variety of inventions.

This time, Takuro Kawashima, the director / facilitator of , talked about this time.He has an office in Rainbow Warehouse, which is near Ikejiri Ohashi Station.

Rainbow warehouse is a share space that advocates the "adult secret base" in Ikejiri Ohashi in Meguro -ku, Tokyo.The feature is that various creators are moving in and are used in a wide range of ways, such as shops, offices, and atelier.Why did you choose this place?

"Because it can be used as a shooting studio, the items, walls, and appearance in the rainbow warehouse are also attractive. We have an office here because the whole warehouse can be used as a creative tool."

The ceiling height is about 2m, and it looks narrow at first glance, but there are about 47 square meters in front, and 14 private rooms are lined up.

"Because it is a free space, there are many people coming and going, and about 5 to 10 people are always in this warehouse."

A good location that can be reached from Nakameguro Station, about a 5 -minute walk from Ikejiri Ohashi Station.However, some people simply use it as a "warehouse", so the shared space has something to look over, and it is overflowing with things that are likely to hinder the aisle.

A shared space where various people come and go and create unexpected communication

Mr. Kawashima said that before joining, he was involved in real estate and architectural design, and made drawings, shooting props, architectural models, etc.How do you use this rainbow warehouse as a professional in space?

"I use this shared space when I want to work roughly while taking a break or a change.

In addition to designers and other creators, there are also shops such as florists and nail salons, so it is the charm of this warehouse to be able to meet various people.

It is an environment where new ideas are more likely to come out than ordinary offices, such as getting a new perspective because it is a space where people in all positions always come and go. "

"Personally, I like this shared department, but there are some parts that are hard to concentrate on work in summer and winter because there is no air conditioning because there is no air conditioning because there is no air conditioning because of the warehouse.

And most of all, it looks like dust.It may be overflowing with things, and there are no windows other than the entrance ... "

In addition, Mr. Kawashima says, "When I was just entering, my cough did not stop and I had been moody for a while."He seems to have been worried all the time, as it is a valuable space as the center of communication between residents.

Personal space as a workplace to work concentrated

"I use the personal space when I want to concentrate on it. I'm surrounded by various figures such as Gundam, but this is a hobby of the representative. There are other props used in shooting and work developed in our house."

Including works for crafts such as paint and bonds, books on materials are lined up.

"There are a lot of exciting items in front of you, including materials, books, and representatives' hobbies that are not at home, and this space is inspired by those.

There is only space for concentration, and the personal space is fully equipped with air conditioning for cooling and heating.

The air conditioning was comfortable, but it was still suffering from dusty and hay fever, and it could not be concentrated when I wanted to concentrate, so it could affect the work efficiency.

Because it is a space where many creators come and go, what is worrisome is "air"

In their space, the Blue Air, born in Scandinavian, pursuing the "air purifying function" thoroughly in the creation of a comfortable environment in doing creative work.

In the personal space, the compact "Blue Pure 411 Particle + Carbon" has a powerful "BlueAir Classic 280i" in the shared space.

"I've been using it for use, but I feel particularly effective in personal spaces.

Until then, I felt that air was accumulated.But since I started using Blue Air, I feel like that has decreased.

I feel that the dust that I was worried about has decreased considerably, and it has been more sophisticated as a space where I can concentrate on my work. "

"This compactness is good. I have a lot of things for work in the personal space, so I'm grateful that I can save space as much as possible."

20cm in diameter, height 42.It is a compactness like an unprecedented air purifier of 5cm.It is the perfect size for a personal space where Kawashima works.

It is an attractive part of "Blue Pure 411 Particle + Carbon" that sucks from the bottom of the main unit, 360 degrees.The pre -filter has three colors, Diva Blue, Saffron Red, and Dark Shadow, and Kawashima uses it in Dark Shadow.

" has no one other than me (laughs), so I was careful about cleaning the personal space. If the air is beautiful, this space feels more comfortable.You can concentrate. "

He told me that "BlueAir Classic 280i", which was installed in the shared space, had the benefits of this place.

"I was surprised that the filter was cleaned, but I was surprised that it didn't take any trouble. I was worried about the trouble of care because I turned it for 24 hours.What will happen? "

Just replace the filter once every six months.It is a thankful specification for those who have kept them all the time and those who have trouble cleaning.

"There is a question that even this miscellaneous space full of things is effective, but I feel that the symptoms of hay fever have become lighter since I started using it.

The warehouse administrator seems to be the same ... I think this is still the effect of blue air.

I think that the performance is high because many people make the air in a shared space that comes and go every day.If you have this and your favorite music, it will be a space where you can concentrate on your work. "

"Bluear Classic 280i" is a full -time performance in a space where many people come and go almost all day.It is a nice one to put in a space you want to concentrate on your work because it has this powerful cleanliness and has a high quietness.

Creating a space, the last decisive factor is to stick to "air"

An individual space that is surrounded by work tools and hobby items and concentrates on work.And a shared space where all creators come and go and create a surprising collaboration.

Mr. Kawashima told me that both of them became more comfortable, making it a more comfortable space and more new ideas.It seems that the existence of "air" was also important for creating a creative space.

"I have come to this creative job from the fields such as architecture, so I am attracted to being able to experience various jobs. So I want to be involved in unknown genres, including various collaborations. I am thinking"

After the introduction of "Blue Air", the shared space has been alleviated by the dust of a large number of people, and communication is activated with comfortable air.Individual space has been reduced in coughing and stuffy nose, making it a more concentrated space.

If you work at home or want to practice creating a space to concentrate on your hobbies, why not take care of the air?
