Tokyo's new spot

Today, we’d like to introduce Tokyo’s new shopping spot, “mAAch Kanda-Manseibashi”!

There used to be prosperous train station “Manseibashi”  here along the river about 100 years ago, but it had been used as a train museum since it closed after World War Ⅱ.

 

They recently renovated the building using the old platforms and just opened this shopping mall on September 14th. 

 

The mall contains 11 shops and restaurants and the antique-look red brick exterior looks beautiful.

We recommend this bakery, café “haluta”, which serves Scandinavian dishes and also sell a Danish furniture brand, HAY.
This is their first store in Tokyo.

 

There are also some interesting restaurants such as “Japanese Izaka-ya (dining bar) in France” and “Closest café to the train”.

French Oden (Japanese soy-flavoured stew)

 

Why don’t you go and find a new Tokyo?

Interior Lighting

It is now September but Tokyo is very hot like it is still the middle of the summer!
I’m looking forward to Fall coming but will also miss Summer.
This time we would like to introduce some Scandinavian designer lamps.

The first one is Le Clint which is often seen in cafes. It is a masterpiece of Denmark and also has a Danish Royal Warrant.
It warmly illuminates with its layered shape.

Le Klint is currently collaborating with Moomin. How cute!

The PH series is also a Danish design best seller. Its original curved shade shuts out the direct rays and lights up gently.

Arne Jacobsen, known for furniture design, also succeeded with the AJ lamp design.

And,this is the latest desigh from Scandinavia.
It’s a collaboration work of design companies “Form Us With Love” of Sweden and “One Nordic” of Finland.

This simple, scandinavian look lamp won the Form +1 award at the Stockholm Furniture Fair.

May’s is able to introduce you to the best lamps for your room.
Please feel free to contact us for any of your interior needs!

Redeveloping area― Toranomon

It has been getting cooler in the mornings and evenings these days.
How are you coping?

It’s already been 2 weeks since our showroom moved and we are now settled into our new place.
It only takes about 7 minutes on foot from either Kamiya-cho station or Toranomon station.
It’s very convenient from both train stations.

What draws us to this redeveloping area is Toranomon Hills, a skyscraper project under construction, which will open next year.

They plan to use the building as a hotel, private residences, retail space and garden.　And not only the building, but also a new road is now under construction.

Toranomon, which is near the government municipal offices and embassies, will become more active and add the effect of a new lifestyle.

Near Kamiya-cho station, “MORI TRUST GARDEN TORA4” is now open in a limited time.

There are many facilities such as cafés, a rental vegetable garden, futsal yard, moving theatre and many people gather in the community garden to enjoy the late summer.
We’ll be happy to introduce more of our surrounding neighborhood in the future.
