Francfranc—a Japanese furniture and home decor company founded in Tokyo in 1990—is just one of those shops where once you enter, you know you won’t be leaving empty-handed. Known for their cute, fun, and modern designs, Francfranc sells just about everything from vases to picture frames, bathroom accessories to furniture, kitchenware, and cutlery.
There are Francfranc stores dotted all around Japan and Tokyo, but the flagship store in Aoyama is personally my favorite.
Savvy Picks
1. Shell Floor Cushion (¥2,800, 30% off ¥4,000)
To instantly add a touch of summer to your home, the Shell Floor Cushion is highly recommended. This best-selling floor cushion comes in three colors (pink, green, or grey) and is soft and comfortable to sit on as it is made of poly velvet fabric. The cushion can be folded making it compact and easy to store away when not in use. Irresistibly cute!
2. Photo Frame with Clock (¥3,500)
This multifunctional photo frame is cleverly designed with a clock so not only is it a sweet decor for your desk/table, but it’s also space-saving! A great reward for all the hard work you put into tidying your home, right?

2. Sostrene Grene

I’m all for hygge (the danish term for cozy, comfortable, and contentment), making Sostrene Grene a personal favorite shop of mine for interior pieces and home decor. We tend to think that hygge is just for the winter but why can’t we create a living space that is cozy all-year-round? If you want to add a little Scandinavian elegance to your home, you must check this danish retail chain out.
From sleek furniture to simple photo frames and cushions, Sostrene Grene is loved for their minimal yet stylish designs. You’ll also be surprised to find that the pieces here are reasonably priced. I highly suggest you take a look at their cutlery, bedding, and little home accessories.
