Japan House London

Japan House London occupies a striking building that dates back to the nineteen thirties. This Art Deco structure on Kensington High Street provides a sharp, historical contrast to the sleek and modern interior design found within its walls. The interior space was crafted by the renowned designer Masamichi Katayama of the firm Wonderwall. He organized the layout to reflect the concept of a tokonoma, which is a traditional Japanese alcove used for displaying meaningful objects. By using this architectural philosophy, the space is intended to feel versatile and open, mirroring the way a Japanese home shifts in atmosphere depending on the seasons or the items on display.
