12 ways to inject some Japanese interior design into your space

Japanese style is sleek, simple — and irresistible. Striking the perfect balance between function and form, a host of brands is bringing Eastern style to London. Take fashion designer Issey Miyake, who has collaborated with Finnish brand Iittala to produce a line of ceramics, glass and home textiles that fuses both Asian and Scandinavian craftsmanship.

Minimal hardwood pieces with Japanese influence are also a favourite: Tebori (traditional Japanese hand-tattooing) has been applied to the legs of this bleached-maple tripod table by Wren & Cooper, while Carlos Jiménez champions classic Eastern design through a series of ash-wood modular storage units.
