In 1967, architect Junzo Yoshimura designed the Shonan-Chigasaki House - a quiet landmark of Japanese modernism, where clean lines and soft light frame views of the sea. Nearly sixty years on, its spirit lives on in a sky-blue carpet, originally custom-made for the home and recently revived by @yamagatadantsu from the archives.

The carpet’s return is more than a restoration - it is a dialogue across generations, a preservation of Yoshimura’s vision and a reminder that modernism was always about more than form. It was about feeling. About atmosphere. About the way a single color can hold the memory of a place.

Inspired by the quiet elegance of Japanese mid-century modernism, we’ve curated an edit that captures its spirit below!
