The Azabu Residence, Tokyo | Sorensen Leather
B2B Webshop

A shared appreciation for natural materials and a muted colour palette is eloquently expressed in this Azabu apartment in Tokyo. Conceived by Norm Architects in close collaboration with Keiji Ashizawa Design for furniture brand Karimoku Case Study. The outcome is a peaceful Japanese interior infused with a Scandinavian sensibility. The earthy authenticity of stone and wood serve as a backdrop for a bespoke furniture collection that features our SHADE collection. As part of their mutual desire to create a calm atmosphere of timeless, well-crafted designs that contribute to a sense of wellbeing. Enjoy these glimpses from inside.
