Relaxing in Sofas
Yosuke Aizawa finds the materials and textures he works with and is
surrounded by extremely meaningful. In his workspace, he does not
want to look at a desk or chair unless it stimulates inspiration.
His workshop atelier is a space only for him and is based on the
color black for concentration power. In his home, however, he uses
completely different materials and colors, these help him relax.
He emphasizes the elimination of black and likes to feel the warmth
of trees and nature. Yosuke spends much of his home time relaxing
on the sofa, enjoying a drink with his wife, watching a movie or
playing with his kids – “We have an old leather sofa, from before our
marriage. It has marks, scratches and some drawings on it, which
for me are proof of time well spent with our children. I think that it
is a very loving thing”.
At home, I spend most of my time relaxing on the
sofa with my family. I believe that furniture can show that time,
space and memories equal a life together.
