apartment therapy changing the world, one room at a time

• 1 The TUO dining table in the foreground...
• 2 All the furniture was small scaled and perfect for a Tokyo apartment.
• 3 The bedding patterns were especially "fresh" and appealing — like this ACCHA Madras-like linen plaid!
• 4 I REALLY wanted a PlusMinusZero kitchen appliance like this coffee/tea maker, but they were too expensive! (more on plusminuszero in a later post!)
• 5 More of the fantastic casegoods...

• 6 More beds, bedding, lighting and lots of bedroom accessories.
• 7 These adjustable stools are available in multiple woods and the knubbly fabric upholstery options were all nice.
• 8 The linen and melamine trays (which are surprisingly microwave safe) will be available from Design Within Reach in August!
• 9 ALBERO modular sofa system — very Scandinavian!
• 10 The weather was nice and a lot of furniture was pulled out onto the covered sidewalk outside of the store.

In addition to the casegoods, Unico has a lot of options for modular kitchen storage — perfect for the Tokyo studio that doesn't come with a kitchen. With the addition of a hotplate, these would transform a small space. And like everything else, the small scale is something you don't see in a lot of American furniture.

These pictures are from the Daikanyama store, but there are a dozen other Unico stores in Japan. They also sell their furnishings wholesale to other multi-line furniture stores.

Unico is a must-see for any Apartment Therapy readers visiting Japan!
