Japan, known for its expertise in compact living spaces, presents 'Okawa Furniture,' the highest-grossing furniture brand in the country, with the bustling metropolis of Tokyo at its heart.
In this feature, we bring you three recommended pieces of 'Compact Home Furniture' from Okawa Furniture Dot Com, specialists in Okawa Furniture.
1.Children's Secret Base Reversible Table (Hinoki), black board, natural wood
Children's toys often take up a lot of space, such as with items like Plarail or building blocks. When spread out on the floor for play, it inevitably leads to the need for cleanup, but kids prefer not to have their creations destroyed.
To address the issue of tidying up, we introduce the "Secret Base Table," which can instantly transform your tabletop into a clean slate.
This versatile table is not only suitable for children but also serves as a workspace for adults engaged in puzzle-solving or model-making, providing a stable platform you wouldn't want to disrupt.
２．Outdoor Folding Table: 60cm Diameter, Circular, Solid Domestic Cedar Wood
While it's labeled as an outdoor table, it's perfectly suitable for indoor use as well. (Our store manager, Mr. Tsutsumi, even uses it as an easily portable table inside his own home.)
Furniture stores typically wouldn't say things like this, but we understand the desire to keep your home clutter-free. Nobody wants a table that's meant for a specific spot you hardly ever use.
However, there are times when you're in your home theater room, and you suddenly wish you had a place to set down your coffee or beer.
During such moments, we often find ourselves taking this folding table, which we use as a living room coffee table, and bringing it into the home theater room.
３．Compact Stool with Japanese Confectionery Design
This compact stool features a design inspired by Japanese confections, specifically 'MONAKA' (fresh confections) like 'MONAKA,' which are known for their intricate and traditional patterns.
The word 'MONAKA’ refers to a traditional Japanese sweet made from glutinous rice and sweet bean paste, typically encased in a rice dough. The patterns commonly seen on these sweets have been beautifully incorporated into the design of this stool.
The stool has a modest diameter of 28 cm (approximately 11 inches), making it a delightful addition to any room, bringing a touch of Japanese elegance to your decor.
