Too Many Hobbies? No Such Thing
做个永不疲倦的设计多面手
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.
两年前,BDDW设计公司的创始人泰勒·海斯(Tyler Hays) 买下了俄勒冈州洛斯廷市(Lostine, Ore.)的一家106年的老牌杂货店M. Crow,这家商店离他的家乡、俄勒冈州的约瑟夫市(Joseph)不远。在他的经营下,这家商店现在除了销售啤酒与香烟,还开始出售一些有机产品和 Filson品牌包。就在本月(2014年12月——译注),该店还将引进一些家居用品与服饰,其中多数只会在网上销售。
It’s quite a range.
这家店的商品种类确实挺多的。
“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.
“虽然我是因设计高端家具出名的,但我的爱好其实很广泛,”海斯说,他提到自己正在计划销售一些产自其费城工作室里的布料、一些在他的编织机上制成的羊毛毯与羊绒毯、一些用洛斯戴恩粘土制作的陶瓷,还有一个护发系列的产品,其中含有他家蜜蜂制造的蜜蜡;此外,他甚至还打算销售一个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.”
“小时候,我总是对妈妈说,我想把生活里的一切都做出来,”他说,“现在,我开始在做这件事了。”
