Uroko-ya bookshelf igloo for sale - JPY500000 (Minato-ku)"Own a unique piece of furniture, created by 2 Tokyo architects in 2007.
Called the Uroko-ya ("uroko": "fish scale" referring to the felt tiles covering it and "ko-ya": small room) it has been used as a bed "igloo" inside our studio for the past 3 years and featured in countless design mag and websites.
We now have a little kid who loves to run around and needs more floor space for his toys, so we are selling it.
It includes a lot of shelf space for books or items (more than 24m over 6 shelves), a wardrobe area and an entrance. It would make a perfect small kids sleep/play room, a shop display, a study or a quiet reading room.
But it's been a great bedroom for us too. It fits a 160cm wide bed (200 length) with room to walk around it.
The 4 bottom shelves are 36~33cm tall and easily fit big art books (higher ones are shorter)
The wardrobe area has 4 doors on the outside and can also be accessed from inside (175 tall, 180 wide including 2 hanging rails)
The entrance is 175 tall and 60 wide
It includes a little side table, 76.5 high
and a seating area close to the entrance.
Floor space needed: 3m x 3m10 It's all made in smooth and light-colored "Shina" plywood. 15mm thick. Treated with a light coat of clear matt varnish.
Nice and soft to the touch.
Price includes delivery in central Tokyo and the re-building of the igloo in your home.
You can have the felt tiles too, but as you can see from the photos below is it a very adaptive structure that would be happy to be dressed differently.
