Too Many Hobbies? No Such Thing
做個永不疲倦的設計多面手
Two years ago, Tyler Hays, the founder of the design company BDDW, bought the 106-year-old M. Crow general store in Lostine, Ore., which is near his hometown, Joseph, Ore. Under his direction, the shop has been selling organic produce and Filson bags as well as beer and cigarettes. This month it will introduce home products and apparel, too, most of which will be sold exclusively online.
兩年前,BDDW設計公司的創(chuàng)始人泰勒·海斯(Tyler Hays) 買下了俄勒岡州洛斯廷市(Lostine, Ore.)的一家106年的老牌雜貨店M. Crow,這家商店離他的家鄉(xiāng)、俄勒岡州的約瑟夫市(Joseph)不遠。在他的經營下,這家商店現在除了銷售啤酒與香煙,還開始出售一些有機產品和 Filson品牌包。就在本月(2014年12月——譯注),該店還將引進一些家居用品與服飾,其中多數只會在網上銷售。
It’s quite a range.
這家店的商品種類確實挺多的。
“I’m known for high-end furniture but I have a lot of hobbies,” Mr. Hays said, referring to plans to sell clothing fabricated in his Philadelphia workshop, wool and cashmere blankets produced on his knitting machine, ceramics made with Lostine clay, a haircare line containing wax from his bees and even a log cabin kit.
“雖然我是因設計高端家具出名的,但我的愛好其實很廣泛,”海斯說,他提到自己正在計劃銷售一些產自其費城工作室里的布料、一些在他的編織機上制成的羊毛毯與羊絨毯、一些用洛斯戴恩粘土制作的陶瓷,還有一個護發(fā)系列的產品,其中含有他家蜜蜂制造的蜜蠟;此外,他甚至還打算銷售一個搭建小木屋的材料包。
“I used to tell my mom that I wanted to make everything in my life,” he said. “And I’m starting to do that.”
“小時候,我總是對媽媽說,我想把生活里的一切都做出來,”他說,“現在,我開始在做這件事了。”
