Where To Shop for the Japanese Style Bed You Really Want?

At the ICS College of Arts, they have a diverse curriculum that offers a ‘master course’ in Japanese Interior Architecture & Design http://www.ics.ac.jp/en/. Through a degree partnership with Nottingham Trent University, a national university in the UK, students can earn a Master of Arts degree, commensurate to ‘sushi-go’, via a Japanese graduate school. What this tells us is that Japan has a long practical and common history with interior design, and that its modern-day equivalent has evolved with academic proportions, so to speak.

Japanese Furniture and Japanese Style Beds are sometimes difficult to find.  However, there is a good representation of this type of furniture in the Boulder and Denver, Col area in a company called Haiku Designs Furniture. Japanese style interior design is alive and well there offering a local retail showroom as well as an easy to use and informative website.

Emphasizing the Japanese minimalist principles of simplicity and harmony, the Takuma platform-bed is a great style of Japanese bed. Made from the highest quality eco-friendly materials available, this bed-frame marries the personalities of both East and West, and it merges the values of past and present, with the future in mind, and is a good choice for this style of bed offered by Haiku Designs.

Another company offering a wide range of more traditional style Japanese and Asian themed furniture is Indo-China, another Boulder, Col offering. Concentrating in more traditional style of Chinese and Japanese furniture, this is a good choice for statues, beds and antique opium couches.

The efficient application of natural resources has always been a fundamental aspect of Japanese culture. In Japan—as well as other countries that emulate their aesthetic style—household rooms and workplace rooms are typically multi-functional areas that maximize and politicize Space, not to mention Time. For example, Japanese futon beds are folded and stored away in the morning, allowing the sleeping area to be recycled during the day. The layout of rooms designed in the Japanese spirit is often ‘reconfigurable’ or easily modified. For example, some Japanese interior walls may be composed of Shoji screens that can be moved or removed to expand or contract any room with the multiple personalities of the healthy sort. This ability to re-partition rooms for different uses during the day is essential in Japan, where a highly urbanized society puts space at a premium, and yet the same principles would apply to a state as big as Texas. http://www.houzz.com/japanese-furniture
