Interviewee:
Ms. Sachiko Ishii, Executive Director of 141° ONE FOR ONE DEGREES
Ena:
Hello,
Ms. Ishii.
Last
year you represented Jacques Durand, Alyson magee, and
VERONIKA WILDGRUBER's J.D. but I heard you will be introducing a new designer
this year!
Could
you tell us what would be different about your booth and your products at this
year's IOFT?
Ms.
Ishii:
At
last year's IOFT, as you mentioned, we mainly introduced international designers
such as
Jacques
Durand, Alyson magee, and VERONIKA WILDGRUBER's J.D.O but we will be
introducing frames designed by Akihiro Miyamori.

With the addition of Akihiro Miyamori’s frames, we will have an even more exciting and diverse collection of products
(Mr.
Akihiro Miyamori’s signiture)
Ena:
Could
you tell us a bit about the frames that you will be introducing?
Ms.
Ishii:
Very
unique eyewear created by Akihiro Miyamori (Makieshi (Gold lacquer master) of echizen-urushiutsuwa (Japanese
lacquerware)), using the traditional Japanese takamakie (embossed gilt lacquerwork) technique will be introduced
at IOFT.
 |
| Mr. Akihiro Miyamori |
Makei can be found on many daily used items in Japan such as urushiutsuwa (lacquerware).
By
incorporating the takamakie technique
onto eyewear, 141°ONE FOR ONE DEGREES has created a luxurious collection.
We
hope everyone will be able to enjoy the very dynamic and modern design of the
frame and not conceive it as just a traditional Japanese product.
Ena:
Could
you give us a preview of Mr. Akihiro Miyamori’s 'push' frame, which you will be
showcase at IOFT? May be a few details about it too?
Ms.
Ishii:
The
photo is showing one of the frames from Akihiro Miyamori's “TENKUU” series.

| TENKUU series |
We have added urushi on to the top front of the cell frame with a makie design.
In
addition to this, we have an urushie
series with a front made of cell and a temple part made of wood.
The
products are partly open orders so the customers will be able to select the
colour/pattern of their choice.
Akihiro
Miyamori will design each and every frame with care.
Ena:
So
this is your second time exhibiting at IOFT? How do you find it?
Ms.
Ishii:
Many
buyers come to visit IOFT and we are able to meet numerous customers face to
face, we find it as a precious place to receive opinions and views from our
customers.
Ena:
Who
would you like to meet during the show?
Ms.
Ishii:
We
hope to meet as many Japanese and overseas buyers as possible at the show.
We
see IOFT as the right place to introduce the new brand to the market and we
will do our best to respond to our buyers.
Ena:
Do
you have a message for our readers? May be share us some information if you are
planning something special at your booth?
Ms.
Ishii:
Mr
Moriyama will be demonstrating his wonderful skills and we have prepared some
gifts to give out at our booth.
