Nagatachō Apartment Tokyo

CANDY COLOUR IN THE HEART OF TOKYO

Interior designer Adam Nathaniel Furman was tasked with crafting "a place of happiness, joy and lightness" for an expat couple with a desire for something different. 

Diverting from traditional Japanese aesthetic, Furman found inspiration in Japan’s ‘cute culture’ and the un-curated elements of domestic daily life. The apartment features a bubble-gum-pink kitchen and a striped watermelon-green vinyl floor, fusing contemporary techniques with natural and artificial materials. In the bar area, slim, blue tiles create a herringbone-pattern splashback, while lilac carpet sets off a sugar-sweet palette in the dining room. 

In the main living space, a two-toned Fri™ easy chair by Fritz Hansen adds a striking, playful expression. Designed by Spanish designer Jaime Hayon, the chair features a brushed aluminium base and a soft, sculptured form, pleasing to the body as it is to the eye. 

Dark blue Drop™ chairs in the kitchen/bar area draw inspiration from the feeling of an embrace, designed to allow freedom of movement and a unique sense of comfort.
