Tenoha Milano Milan

Looks like Nippon, feels like Japan

""Tenoha Milano" has Nippon minimalism. No fluffy puff, no chichi, no HelloKitty. This place oozes craftsmanship, period. You'll wanna come back asap."

As a designer, green tea aficionado & zen meditator, I've always had a sweet spot for all things Japan. Wohoo & hurray, my neighbourhood just added the place tailor-made for folks like me – Tenoha Milano. Breathing life into a vast space unused in ages, Tenoha brings the term concept store to a new level.

Being kinda everything urban nerds have on their wish list, that Japanese UFO landed in Navigli with nothing on board – when it comes to unnecessary baggage. Nippon minimalism runs through from A–Z. No fluffy-puff, no chichi, no HelloKitty. Craftsmanship, period. Also, when it comes to architecture & interiors, done to perfection by Italian powerhouse Park Associati. A bright positive void, cold colour palettes, wood, metal – playing around with the industrial charm of a 1930s building.

Go buy Japanese design & magazines, savour traditional food & treat yourself to delicious authentic dishes & drinks nowhere else available in Milan, snack through an aperitivo of hard-to-copy quality & inventiveness, stock up on inspiration during one of the regular events or grab your Mac to mix & mingle in the co-working space. Whatever you feel like – Tenoha thought of it. There’s just one downside to the thing. You have to go home to sleep. But until that, even your dog will be hosted with Japanese hospitality – indoors or in the garden.

Ah yes gentlemen, you can directly head to the cafeteria while the lady has a hard time to decide which piece of fashion not to take home. Anyways guys, also you'll wanna come back ASAP – trust me.
