The craftsmanship of Hida's furniture maker "Nissin Furniture Crafters" for the future. 

Just as wood brings us various images of grandeur, gentleness, wildness, tranquility, and warmth......, Hida furniture makers known for their wooden chairs also have their own unique characteristics.

In this issue, I visit Nissin Furniture Crafters Co., Ltd. (Nissin Mokko), a long-established furniture manufacturer in Kiryu-cho, Takayama City, Gifu Prefecture, to report on its showroom, which was renovated in 2016, and interview its president and craftsmen about their thoughts on furniture making.

Nissin Furniture Crafters, known for its "nissin" logo, was founded in 1946. The head office showroom is located about 10 minutes by car straight north from Takayama Station.

The space is handsome with white walls, a black staircase, and a bare skeleton ceiling. Wooden furniture is placed there.

The showroom has two floors. You can tour while walking around the stairs in the center. Furniture of different styles is arranged in each subdivided area, so let's go around first.

Hearing the name "Hida Furniture ®︎" gave me an image of a little high profile, but Nissin Furniture Crafters gives me a sense of sophistication and youthfulness.

When you look at it this way, you realize that there are a wide variety of situations in which you sit in your daily life, such as chairs, sofas, stools, and chairs. The products you choose will vary depending on your lifestyle and space.

At “Cafe Tre” in the showroom, they serve specialty coffee made with beans from the popular Hida City cafe “Home Roasted Coffee Asunaro”. In addition, you can have Hida black tea, Terada Farm juice, etc. (with sweets).

Try out the comfort of your favorite chair, or imagine a relaxing time at home. In the first place, there are not many cafes that create such a luxurious space.

In the miscellaneous goods corner, showroom staff agree, "It's really inexpensive." They are all one-of-a-kind items that are full of the ingenuity of the craftsmen, so if you find something you like, you should buy it.

The fabric used for the sofa and some chairs is based on Scandinavian colors. Any combination will blend in well with the interior, so it's good to trust your intuition and choose.

In one corner of the showroom, we found a kids space like a secret base.

On sunny days, go to the terrace deck. Nissin Furniture Crafters is attractive not only as a furniture showroom, but also as an open space that makes you want to stop by.
