Apato

Presenting an extensive selection of handcrafted furniture by master designers from Japan, the Apato showroom controls visual depth and frames narratives while maintaining spatial generosity.

Located in the Melbourne suburb of Collingwood, the showroom offers a gallery-like environment where references to traditional Japanese architecture and wabi-sabi are expressed through contemporary reinterpretations.

The structural grid provides an underlying rigour, while established datums create legibility and elevated plinths guide movement and focus attention. These balanced proportions create a calm and engaging experience, ensuring the furniture is the focus.
