Household Wares Arrived from the USA and Europe

How did you spend your long weekend last week?
Finally, summer heat is fading and now we can feel autumn coming. Quite a few national holidays in autumn in Japan, so you might have already scheduled some trips. For those who have or have not planned for holidays, Azabu Interior and Tokyo Lease Corporation are open every day except Sundays, even on national holidays, waiting for your visit!

Now, let me introduce our newly arrived overseas products on the first floor of Azabu Interior. Here are all simple but well-designed with vivid color, which will surely make your kitchen work enjoyable.

Rubbermaid rogo
Firstly, I will show you three of my picks from Rubbermaid. As you probably know, Rubbermaid is one of the world’s leading plastic manufacturers and widely recognized particularly in the USA, due to the stylish design as well as superior quality materials.

1. 'Classic Pitcher' / Size: 1.9L / Color: White / Price: JPY 1,260
Suitable both for home and business use;
Streamline and practical design with large comfortable handle;

2. 'Chug Bottle' / Size: 600ml / Color: Orange, Blue and Pink / Price: JPY 1,260

3. 'TakeAlongs Square' / Size: 669 ml / Price: JPY 997 (for 4 pcs)
'TakeAlongs Round' / Size: 760 ml / Price: JPY 997 (for 4 pcs)

The second is chic kitchen goods from Haug Burste. Haug Burste is German well-established company, specialising in household brushes in high quality and attractive design.
My pickups here are 'Dish-brush' (the left above of the photo / Price: JPY 1,050) and 'Dish-knob' (the left bottom / Price: JPY 945). Both are dish washing brushes with liquid-soap dispensers, just filling the liquid soap in the handle parts and pushing the brushes as washing.

Together with above dish brushes, following liquid soaps from Colgate-Palmolive Company are also recommended: blue for 'Palmolive Oxy Plus' and orange for 'Palmolive Antibacterial Hand Soap' (Size: 384 ml / Price: JPY 683, respectively).
'Palmolive Oxy Plus' has an oxygenated cleaning action that easily lifts the toughest baked-on grease, with refreshing and clean scent. On the other, 'Palmolive Antibacterial Hand Soap' not only has greased-cutting power, but also protects against harmful bacteria with orange scent when used on hands.


The other pick is 'Downy Sheets' (Price: JPY 945 for 40 sheets) from P&G (USA), maybe you have seen the package of printed little girl. Downy Sheets provide a lubricating effect on fabrics, causing the fibers to feel smooth during drying. They can also be used for odors in clothes or even in a car. Available scents in Azabu Interior are 'April Fresh' and 'Mountain Spring' as below.

'April Fresh' : original scent of springtime air blends of bouquet of flowers
'Mountain Spring' : mountain air freshness of crisp and tart citrus and green-floral

Organic cotton towel's just came in!

It's already mid March, it is a season flower smells.
Today's topic is about organic cotton towel came to 1F Azabu Interior. People think "Organic cotton = Ecological, safe" but I also didn't know well about it. But this time I learned about it. Recently we hear often this words "Organic cotton" from the trend of Eco&LOHAS.

So here what organic cotton is...
"Cotton grew in a field with more than 3 years cure with organic fertilizer and without using chemical pesticide such as insecticide, weed killer or Agent Orange" and it also applies for filature and texture.

The towel we received this time is from the brand "Ten i muhoh" and they are 100% organic cotton. Their texture is fluffy and smooth! You will be healed by this touch.

*Organic cotton Supima towel
(Right in right photo)
Made of high-class organic cotton, Supima extra long staple cotton features luster and soft texture. Material: 100% organic cotton, Made in Japan. Facecloth: 34x85cm, 1,050 yen. Bath Towel: 60x120cm, 3,150 yen.

*Slub yarn gauze border towel (Left in right above photo).
Green and ivory color matching naturally in border pattern. "Slub" means slub yarn used in border which woven gauze and pile double. It's thin but has incredible water absorbent. Material: 100% organic cotton, Made in Japan. Size and the price is same as Supima towel, Facecloth: aprox. 34x85cm, 1,050 yen. Bath Towel: 60x120cm, 3,150 yen.

Photo above is the closeup picture of "organic cotton Supima towel".
Photo above right is a tag of "Supima" attached.


Photo above is also "Slub yarn gauze border towel" with organic cotton. Left is bath towel, Right is tag of organic cotton.


This one here is not organic but regular cotton towel with pretty chic flower pattern. Above photo right is facecloth, left is a bath towel. One side has gauze layer. They are compact but have good absorbent. Facecloth is white and bath towel is beige. Fabric is from Japanese maker "adorno". Their textile has made imaging North Europe style "Coquelicot". 100% cotton, Made in Japan.
Facecloth: 33x80 cm, Color: White only, 1,050 yen.
Bath Towel: 63x120cm, Color: White or beige, 2,730 yen.

Lastly I will show you some more cotton items came in together. They have nice chic natural color.

Above photo is a tissue box cover from "tente", size: 25.5x12.5x6.2cm. Covers in left above photo are each 1,260 yen. Right above cover now displayed in shop is 1,890 yen.
"tente" means tent in French. I can agree when I look from their side, it looked like a circus tent! It fits easily with Velcro.
