The CH78 lounge chair, known by the nickname Mama Bear, was designed in 1954 by Hans J. Wegner as a successor to the CH71 chair (1952). While the mainstream design of lounge chairs at the time was stately and imposing, the Mama Bear chair’s light and graceful silhouette created by the warm curves became a significant feature. The unique form from bodily mixed curves and various shapes, refined details such as the wooden panel of the armrests, and lightness are all seen in this design.

Furthermore, the ergonomic design gives this chair the utmost comfort, supporting the neck, back, and body gently and firmly. The flam, arms, and legs are made of solid wood certified by FSC (Forest Stewardship Council). In addition, the neck pillow (headrest) is available as an option.

The CH445 Wing Chair is a lounge chair that showcases Hans J. Wegner’s unique talent and aesthetic sense.

The craftsmanship that can be seen at first glance and the details that can be felt more and more as it is used are both excellent.

The CH446 footstool is made of solid beachwood and stainless steel.

Despite its light and agile form, it has high durability and can be used across generations.

It is an ideal footstool for the masterpieces of lounge chairs designed by Hans J. Wegner, such as the CH445 Wing Chair and the CH468 Oculus Chair.

The legs of both chairs are made of stainless steel.

Han J. Wegner was a talented furniture designer who left numerous masterpieces and was one of the representatives of 20th-century Danish design. He played a significant role in the overseas expansion of Danish design and had a profound impact on people by unveiling furniture that completely overturned their previous image of furniture in the 1950s and 1960s. With over 500 chair designs, he is known as a master of the chair.

We believe that Sakai City’s Mikuni Grand Vision and the new company, Activates Fukui, which was jointly established by 11 companies, will contribute to achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

For example, No. 9, “Build resilient infrastructure, promote inclusive and sustainable industrialization and foster innovation” (largely increase the ratio of non-agriculture and fisheries), and No. 11, “Make cities and human settlements inclusive, safe, resilient and sustainable” (sustainable Plan possible urban development, protect the world’s cultural and natural heritage), etc.

Actibase Fukui, a new company to promote tourism and community development in the Mikuni Minato area (Sakai City, Fukui Prefecture), is jointly established by 11 companies

(President and Representative Director: Masaaki Shinbayashi; hereinafter “NTT West”), NTT Urban Solutions Corporation (President and Representative Director: Hiroshi Tsujiguchigami; hereinafter “NTT Urban Solutions”), Kumagai Corporation (President and Representative Director: Yasunori Sakurano; hereinafter “Kumagai Gumi”), Sumitomo Forestry Co. (President and Representative Director: Toshiro Mitsuyoshi, hereinafter “Sumitomo Forestry”), The Fukui Bank, Ltd. (President: Masashi Yoshida; hereinafter “Fukui Shimbun”), Fukui Broadcasting Corporation (President: Akihiko Ikeuchi; hereinafter “FBC”), Fukubi Chemical Industry Corporation (President: Seiichiro Yagi; hereinafter “Fukubi Chemical Industry”), and Hokuriku Electric Power Co. (President: Koji Matsuda, hereinafter “Hokuriku Electric Power”) have jointly established Actibase Fukui Corporation (hereinafter “Actibase Fukui”) on October 19, 2022, to operate a tourism business that will contribute to regional revitalization in the Mikuni Minato area of Sakai City, Fukui Prefecture. We are pleased to hold a press conference today to announce the background of the establishment of Actibase Fukui and its business activities.

The Mikuni-Minato area of Sakai City, Fukui Prefecture, prospered as a port of call for the Kitamae Ship, which was active from the Edo to Meiji periods, and is home to many historical and cultural tourist resources. The area has many attractions that attract tourists, such as the environment that allows visitors to tour around Tojinbo and Eiheiji Temple.

In addition, the passion of local businesses and residents for tourism and community development, the opportunity for development provided by the scheduled opening of the Hokuriku Shinkansen Line (Kanazawa to Tsuruga) in the spring of 2024, and Sakai City’s numerous measures to attract more visitors based on the “Mikuni Grand Vision“, all provide an environment in which the city can take on the challenge of revitalizing its tourism industry.

The city of Sakai is blessed with an environment that allows it to take on the challenge of revitalizing its tourism industry.

Against this backdrop, NTT West will establish a new company based in the Mikuni Minato area, together with companies that have expertise in the construction and operation of facilities that reflect local history and culture and in the development of townscapes, as well as companies that have relationships with many businesses in the Fukui Prefecture area, in an effort to revitalize the region through tourism.

2．Tourism Distribution Platform

3．Main Business Activities

Accommodation Operation Business (Machiya Hotel)

Auberge Hotel will be established as a dispersed lodging facility (10 buildings with 18 rooms), utilizing the traditional architecture of Mikuni Minato, “kagura-built machiya” and the symbolic material “shakudani-ishi,” and together with the food and beverage business, the entire town will be considered as one lodging facility.

Food and Beverage Business (Machiya Restaurant

We will operate a restaurant business utilizing ingredients from Fukui Prefecture and Mikuni Minato. This business will feature Ken Yoshino*2, a star French chef who has produced numerous restaurants in Japan, including Maison Tateru Yoshino, and has recently opened TATERU YOSHINO PORTOM INTERNATIONAL HOKKAIDO in 2020. The cuisine will exceed the expectations of guests from Japan and abroad. The development of this project will be supported by the “Auberge Attraction Promotion Project Subsidy” from Fukui Prefecture.

Activity Business

It will be offered activities that make use of the history, Japanese culture, and natural environment that developed as a port of call for Kitamaebune ships.

Townscape Maintenance Business

In collaboration with local governments and local residents, we will unify the scenery (lighting up/maintenance of street lights, greening, etc.) to encourage excursions, and improve the appearance of NTT West office buildings according to the townscape.

Co-Founder’s Comments

NTT Urban Solutions Group is developing urban development that balances sustainable growth of local communities and solutions to social issues under the slogan, “Connecting you, the city, and the future. In this project, the Group will make maximum use of its expertise in accommodation and food & beverage business and area management to realize “an increase in the tourist population in the Mikuni Minato area and expansion of the virtuous circle of the local economy,” and will support the creation of a unique and vibrant town that contributes to the development of the region by improving the quantity and quality of stays and the circulation in and out of the area. We will support the creation of a town with rich and vibrant individuality that contributes to the development of the region.

We will participate in the new company to be established together with NTT West and other related companies, and contribute to improving the charm of the good old Mikuni-Minato area through the development of the townscape. In addition to the townscape improvement at the start of the project, we intend to continue contributing to the revitalization of the Mikuni Minato area and all of Fukui Prefecture over the long term through cooperation with the new company, related companies, and local residents.

We will enhance the value of “forests” and “trees” to realize a sustainable society and utilize them for the future. In this project, traditional townhouses in Mikuni Minato will be refined as lodging facilities by utilizing lumber produced in Fukui Prefecture, which leads to local production for local consumption, and by preserving the characteristics of the townhouses and streetscapes. We will also utilize our knowledge of earthquake-resistant renovation techniques for old houses to renovate them into safe and comfortable accommodations, aiming to pass them on to future generations. Through ongoing collaboration with NTT West and other partners and stakeholders, we will contribute to solving local issues and revitalizing the local economy.

The mission of the “Fukui Hitomono Design” established this year is to “design the flow of people and goods and create value together with the local community” and is considering tourism and product sales businesses by utilizing the local network cultivated to date. We are now considering tourism and product sales businesses by utilizing the regional networks we have cultivated. Working hand in hand with local residents and partners, we hope to contribute to the revitalization of the local economy in the Mikuni Minato area and throughout Fukui Prefecture.

The Hokuriku Shinkansen line, which is scheduled to open in 2024, will bring the entire prefecture of Fukui from a point to a strong line, and this will be a great opportunity to boost the growth of the local economy. The Fukui Shinkin Bank, which coexists in this area, is also aiming to create a branch that blends in with the townscape in order to create an attractive tourist town. We will continue our efforts under the slogan “Together for the Future” to make Mikuni Minato the core of the prefecture’s tourism and to revitalize the local economy.

In order for both local communities and businesses to be sustainable in the future, new initiatives that enhance each other’s value will be necessary. To make the traditional asset of Mikuni Minato an attractive place for those of us living in the present and future, we will utilize our technological and human resources capabilities in the regional community development project. Seiren’s company slogan is “Changing the world with dreams. Let’s work together to realize this new “dream” that we are starting today!

In recent years, as a “regional power creation company” that promotes the revitalization of Fukui Prefecture, we have been promoting efforts to communicate the attractiveness of various places in the prefecture and to help enhance their value. The Mikuni area has long been a thriving trading town, and we hope to make full use of the resources at our disposal to widely distribute information about the charms and growth of this wonderful town, which is steeped in history and culture. The projects that Actibase Fukui will develop in the future will truly be at the forefront of regional power creation, and it is clear that they will attract attention both domestically and internationally. We will do our utmost to make Actibase Fukui a catalyst for tourism in the prefecture, with the Mikuni region at the core of our efforts.

The Kitamae-bune ships used to come and go, and many townhouses and rows of houses still retain the vestiges of their prosperity. FBC will continue to support this project by introducing to the world the charms of the newly reborn town of Mikuni.

In cooperation with local residents and other investors, we will do our utmost to make the historic Mikuni port town area even more attractive and to create a new population for exchange so that it can be inherited into the future.

Through our participation in “Actibase Fukui,” we will work to improve the attractiveness of the historic Mikuni Minato area by providing 100% hydroelectric, carbon-free electricity to the Machiya Hotel and developing the townscape using the technologies and infrastructure developed by our group. Through this project, together with NTT West and its investors, we will work to solve local issues such as the creation of a new population for exchange, and contribute to the creation of liveliness not only in the Mikuni Minato area but also in Sakai City and the sustainable development of the Hokuriku region.

Satoyume Co., Ltd., which supports regional revitalization, has established a new travel division! Recruiting participants for the workcation program “LOCAL SDGs Workcation” to develop human resources who will promote SDGs!

Inter-professional exchange workcations that consider the future of regions, companies, and society will be held in three regions: Koumi Town, Nagano Prefecture, Kahoku Town, Yamagata Prefecture, and Myoko City, Niigata Prefecture.

Satoyume Co., Ltd. (head office: Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo; President: Shunpei Shimada; hereinafter “Satoyume”) supports regional revitalization and business creation in about 40 regions nationwide. In May 2022, we acquired a travel agency license in Japan and newly established the “Satoyume Travel Division” in order to expand the encounters between “people” and the region and take a step forward in creating a sustainable community.

And from October 2022, we will start “LOCAL SDGs Workcation” as the first project of the Travel Business Department. This service is a new workcation aimed at a wide range of people who are interested in the region and develops human resources who will be responsible for promoting the local x SDGs through the experience of cutting-edge SDGs efforts in the region.

The content of this program consists of lecture-style sessions including the “SDGs Basic Course” by Ms. Ayako Sakurada, who is active as an eco-announcer, and cross-industrial exchange-type workcations by visiting three regions (Koumi Town, Nagano Prefecture, Kahoku Town, Yamagata Prefecture, and Myoko City, Niigata Prefecture) in Japan. It will run for 5 months.

LOCAL SDGs Workcation’s Value

The aim of this project is to provide participants, companies, and communities with the value of “sampo yoshi*,” and to create opportunities to update their values and ways of thinking toward a sustainable society. By participating in 2 regions rather than 1 region, and 3 regions rather than 2 regions, we can provide more fulfilling learning and encounter opportunities.

*Sampo Yoshi is the thought and action philosophy of the Omi merchants, and “three directions” refers to sellers, buyers, and society as a whole. It means that the buyer should be satisfied from the bottom of his heart, and that the business should contribute to the development and welfare of the local community, rather than doing business solely for the convenience of the seller.

Value Provided

Program Content

A total of 5 programs, including 2 lecture-style sessions and 3 cross-industry interaction type workcations that actually visit the area, will be implemented over a period of about 5 months.

In the cross-industry exchange type workcation, we will visit each of the three regions for two nights and three days. The number of participating regions can be selected depending on the plan, but by participating across regions, we will provide a more fulfilling learning experience.

#01 Opening Session (2022/10/3)

In the opening session, there will be a self-introduction, an orientation including an explanation of the overall program, and an “SDGs basic course” by navigator Ayako Sakurada. By learning the basics of the SDGs and about the region before actually entering the region, you will make your local experience more meaningful. *Opening session will be held online
