Collabo is an online community started in January 2017 by editor Yohei Sadojima. It aims to be a third place different from the workplace or home. This book was produced mainly by Collabo members with the theme of how to create a "comfortable place." In an age when people are expected to have multiple places to belong, we believe that it is valuable to share what Collabo has done so far.
In Chapter 1, we will be joined by clinical psychologist Higashihata Kaito, and together we will consider the concept of the word "place to belong."
In Chapter 2, we spoke with Sadoshima Yohei, Koga Fumitake, Tarareba, and Ototake Hirotada to deepen our understanding of Collabo's four action guidelines: "1. Know your own safety and security," "2. Weave your own words," "3. Immerse yourself in what you love," and "4. Know how to rely on others." We also introduce the voices of Collabo's management leaders and members about the management of the Collabo community.
In Chapter 3, we will introduce the meaning of Collabo's philosophy, "Become the person you love," and the changes that have occurred among Collabo members.
In Chapter 4, we will be featuring guests such as Maeda Takashi from the online community Maeda Design Office and Chikaike Hideo from Tokyo Branding College, and will explore the concepts of place and community from various perspectives.
Chapter 5 is the Collabo Lab Room, which includes recommended books, introductions to club activities, and a summary of our progress so far.
In terms of design, we collaborated with the community and Maeda Design Office, run by designer Takashi Maeda, to create a book that was carefully designed to be not only appealing in content, but also in design.
-----------------
This book describes the specific ways that we, the members of Collabo, have devised to create a comfortable place. It is not intended to be accessible to everyone. While running the community, we struggle with things like not being able to find information, not being able to communicate, and not being able to communicate with people...but we all have fun being together, and we want to make this place even better. I think this book will reach the hearts of people who feel that way.
