I want to reuse fixtures and furniture.
The fixtures used in Kyoto townhouses are standardized, making them easy to reuse or replace. Furthermore, fixtures and furniture handcrafted by artisans of the past are made from high-quality materials and showcase advanced techniques. Incorporating antique fixtures into newly built homes is environmentally friendly and allows you to enjoy the contrast between old and new, as well as traditional Japanese design.
The following organizations sell and take back fixtures and furniture. If you are looking to use old fixtures or furniture for a renovation, or if you are looking for someone to take your old fixtures or furniture, please contact these organizations.
