When I'm told, 'I want to furnish my storage with tower.'

In meetings with clients, I've been hearing this a lot lately.
"I want to furnish my storage with the tower series."
Ah, Yamazaki Jitsugyo, I think.
Anyone reading this has likely seen those simple black and white household goods at least once, right alongside Muji or Nitori. Magnetic towel racks, bathroom racks, kitchen gap storage. That feeling where you realize every house has at least one.
But surprisingly few people know what kind of company Yamazaki Jitsugyo actually is.
They are a household goods manufacturer from Hyogo Prefecture. Based on steel processing, they have been rolling out series like 'tower,' 'smart,' and 'rin' one after another. It seems they have many fans not just in Japan, but overseas as well. They have also won countless design awards.

Here, as a site supervisor, there is one thing I want to convey.
To truly make the most of Yamazaki Jitsugyo's products, it makes a world of difference if you consider them during the house-building phase.
Take, for example, the popular 'magnetic' storage from tower. It's standard to use them by sticking them to refrigerators or washing machines, but recently, more clients are asking to include 'magnetic wall backing'.
Magnetic backing refers to installing a thin steel plate inside the wall so that magnets will stick to it. With this, you can stick a tower-style towel rack directly onto the bathroom wall. You can place it wherever you like without drilling holes, and move it later. That is a powerful feature.
Then there is the size of gap storage. There is a tower wagon that fits perfectly into a 30cm wide space next to a refrigerator. But if it's decided at the design stage that 'this space will be 35cm,' it won't fit anymore. If you can see how the client intends to live, it is worth adjusting the dimensions in 5cm increments.
Things like this are often too late to fix once the blueprints are finished.

That is why I often ask during meetings:
"Are there any furniture or storage manufacturers you like?"
People who like Muji, people who like IKEA, people who like Yamazaki Jitsugyo. The points to watch out for at the design stage differ for each. Building a house isn't just about making a box. Home building includes what goes inside and how it will be used.
If you have ever looked at Yamazaki Jitsugyo's tower and thought, 'That's nice,' you should think about a house that can maximize that 'nice' feeling.
I've heard the name, but what kind of company is it?
Knowing this makes house-building meetings a little more fun. I plan to write a series about that from here on out.
I wonder where I should go next.
