Visual study

Rooms planned in Japan, furnished from your city.

A Japan-based designer draws your layout, palette, and an exact furniture schedule. Shops near you supply and deliver first; anything from Japan is a documented exception you approve.

From your floor plan to a furniture plan.

Send a leasing drawing or a phone photo. The designer redraws it, marks every wall measured or estimated, and places each piece at its real footprint — including what you already own.

Exact pieces, quoted by shops near you.

Each line names its variant and where it comes from. Each price shows how well it is known. A total that contains an unknown says so instead of pretending.

Sample figures and evidence states for the study — not a quote or verified supplier offer.

Two decisions, kept apart.

You accept the design. Separately — and only once every cost is known — you authorise the purchase list. Shops invoice you directly. If you would like us to place and track orders on your behalf, purchase coordination is available as an add-on to the design engagement.

Furnishing study

A one-bedroom furnishing study.

Entry and a compact service core at the left; kitchen and dining beside the entrance; living and bedroom share the glazed edge, separated by a partition with the media console. Sage marks what this engagement adds.

Existing (assumed): bed, window-side bedside table, rug, coffee table. L4 adds a separate bedside table on the partition side. Built-in: kitchen, bath, closets, media console. Sourcing routes and assumptions are in Technical details.

Open question carried in the brief: How deep is the balcony? Until answered, L6 stays a dashed square.

How it works

Four steps, two decisions.

  1. 01

    Brief

    Rooms, what you keep, measurements, budget. About ten minutes. Open questions are recorded, not guessed.

  2. 02

    Human design

    A Japan-based designer draws your layout, palette, and schedule. Two revisions included.

  3. 03

    Reviewed proposal

    Local shops are checked first. Each line records its source, price, and evidence state; exceptions remain visible.

  4. 04

    Your decisions

    Accept the design. Separately — once every cost is known — authorise the purchase list. Shops invoice you directly; order coordination is an optional add-on.

Fees & plain answers

What we charge, what we don’t do.

What does it cost?
Design and coordination fees, quoted per project after your brief. Homes differ; the scope and fee are agreed before paid work begins.
Who do I pay for furniture?
The shops, directly — Tokusen does not resell or take payment for goods. Placing and tracking orders on your behalf is an optional paid add-on to the design engagement.
When does anything come from Japan?
Only when a qualified local partner and a US alternative both fail, the gap is documented, and you approve the exception in writing. A lower price in Japan does not bypass these checks.
Is this available now?
We are preparing the service for homes in the San Francisco Bay Area and Los Angeles. Availability is verified separately in each area.

The furnishing study is a concept, not a client project. The AI-generated hero is an editorial visual study, not a photograph of this apartment or a client home. Design and coordination fees are quoted per project.
