About Us
Design Talk LLC is a company that offers interior design proposals, sells furniture and miscellaneous goods, and renovates homes and facilities, with the theme of "making life fun and beautiful."
During renovations that transform old buildings into new spaces, I often see usable furniture, kitchens, and other equipment being discarded. Every time I see this, I can't help but feel that "it could still be used..."
It was during this time that I went on a trip to visit elderly care facilities in Northern Europe, and was shocked. In Northern Europe, people let go of their possessions as they get older and pass them on to the next generation. This simple lifestyle with few possessions seemed to me to be a symbol of affluence.
What if a recycling shop could be established in Japan to give new owners to items that would otherwise be thrown away? That would be the beginning of Antaa.
For the shop name, we chose a word that means "to pass on" or "to circulate" from Finnish, a language that is good at finding value in old things.
Of course, it's a little different from your average recycle shop, because simply reselling items is boring.
The items we sell have been reborn in new forms using the design magic we have cultivated over the years.
We also paid particular attention to the location. We chose a closed school as the perfect place for a recycle shop that would give new value to things. This school building will once again become a place where people gather, and many stories will likely be born.
Would you like to enjoy a waste-free lifestyle with us?
