The so-called 'sukiya style' that dates from seventeenth century Japan, is generally regarded as one of the culminations of architecture. Many well known architects, like for instance Frank Lloyd Wright and Mies van der Rohe, have been influenced by this style and to this day the sukiya style is a source of inspiration to many architects, artists and craftsman.

Japanese design has a timeless quality. It's interior elements like cabinets, lamps and tables are easely combined with a modern western interior. Especially shoji doors can have a surprising effect on the interior. With their simple lines and natural materials they are never too prominently present. Yet they bring a delightful peace and a new balance to the room.
