APATO

The Wing LUX chair by Conde House. A quiet favourite in our collection, the one people sink into and stay a while.

Kiyoshi Sadogawa looked at the shapes that live inside a growing tree, the fork where a branch divides, the veins of a leaf, and drew them into a soft, swelling triangle that runs through the legs.

Rich in volume, fine in line, and worked by hand at every stage. That is what the LUX name stands for.

Japanese oak or walnut, made in Japan. Armchair and side chair, with a seat cover you can replace over time.

Now at APATO, Melbourne.
6 Gipps Street, Collingwood.

Turn a balcony rail into a table. SKYDECK, designed by Torafu Architects for Ishinomaki Laboratory, is a tiny folding table that hooks onto a railing.

Somewhere to rest your phone while the washing dries, or a counter for a beer on a good afternoon. It folds flat and tucks under your arm.

Ishinomaki Laboratory was founded in the city devastated by the 2011 tsunami, a community workshop where local hands make honest, useful things. SKYDECK is one of them.

Small idea, big heart. Now at APATO.

A-S01 by Keiji Ashizawa Design and Norm Architects for Karimoku Case.

Meet the Kinuta Sofa, A-S01, which was created for the Kinuta Terrace apartments in Tokyo, its warm oak frame echoing the courtyard those homes were built around.

Low, generous and quietly sculptural, with an armrest that doubles as a pillow, so it becomes a daybed when you want it to. In oak or keyaki, with fabric seating, hand-built in Japan.

Now at APATO. Come sink into it in Collingwood.
