Stainless-Metal Compact Kitchen Parts from Toolbox in Tokyo

Toolbox of Tokyo anticipates the wants of city residence dwellers by providing a full compendium of family constructing blocks, from brass TP holders to picket stair rails, all with a lean, stripped-back look—and no plastic in sight. The corporate grew out of an actual property agency and now has a web site and Shibuya showroom geared to DIYers searching for a substitute for the “packaged and homogenous.”

We significantly like Toolbox’s skilled kitchen, composed of stainless-steel freestanding models scaled for compact dwelling settings and bought à la carte. All surfaces are simple to swab down—however open-storage-phobes ought to look elsewhere. “A kitchen is a software,” says the corporate. “Cleanliness and toughness—with pointless features eliminated—are engaging.”
