atomi turning 16 | A Call for Strategic Partnerships
The atomi Way: Discover Authentic Japanese Furniture and a Comfortable Lifestyle in Singapore
As we mark our 16th anniversary at Mandarin Gallery, we have been contemplating our development of atomi. We plan to strategically advance "the atomi way," expand our service offerings to establish a more cohesive ecosystem, and explore new collaborations with our corporate partners.
A Call for Strategic Partnerships
We see a unique opportunity to collaborate with leaders in the following sectors:
For Property Developers: atomi offers more than just furniture; we provide a complete aesthetic. We have a proven track record of fitting out residential projects, resorts, and restaurants. Let us bring the timeless appeal and meticulous craftsmanship of Japanese design to your subsequent development.
For Japanese Companies in Singapore: As a brand deeply rooted in both cultures, we understand your heritage and the local market. We can assist with corporate gifting that reflects your company's identity or furnish your corporate spaces to create an environment of sophisticated comfort.
For Singapore Companies Expanding to Japan: Venturing into Japan requires a nuanced understanding. Our consulting arm, atomi Consulting, specialises in providing go-to-market strategies and operational planning for this sophisticated market. Our unique Singapore-Japan leadership provides the invaluable "insider-outsider" perspective necessary for a successful launch.
Our evolution also includes enhancing the customer experience through new ventures, such as our planned atomi café & bar—a fully immersive space where the lifestyle we champion can be experienced firsthand.
In a world of fleeting trends and fast furniture, there is a growing desire for spaces that feel calm, authentic, and timeless. We seek not just objects, but a philosophy for living. This is the essence of atomi—a vision brought to life in Singapore by co-founders Andrew Tan and Mitsuko Murano.
For over 15 years, from our boutique in Mandarin Gallery, we have been the dedicated purveyor of "Japanese Designs x Comfortable Lifestyle". Our journey is a story that bridges Singapore and Japan, built on a passion for craftsmanship that endures.
Beyond Minimalism: The Soul of Japanese Design
When people think of Japanese design, the word "minimalist" often comes to mind. But at atomi, we believe it's deeper than that. It’s a feeling rooted in concepts like simplicity and wabi-sabi—the art of finding beauty in imperfection and authenticity.
Our curated collection reflects this philosophy. Each piece of furniture, homeware, or accessory is chosen for its ability to create a tranquil environment. It’s not about having less; it’s about selecting pieces that are intentional, meaningful, and bring a sense of harmony to your daily life.
Crafted for Generations: The Promise of "Made in Japan"
In an era of mass production, we stand by the principle of artisanal craftsmanship, or the shokunin spirit. We partner directly with master artisans and workshops across Japan’s 47 prefectures, from the makers of exquisite Mino-yaki ceramics in Gifu to the producers of aromatic Aomori Hiba wood products.
Our furniture is not designed to be temporary. It is built to last for generations, using sustainable and responsibly sourced wood. When you touch the smooth, hand-finished armrest of a chair or feel the balanced weight of a ceramic bowl, you are connecting with a long heritage of quality and dedication. This is the tangible difference of true Japan-made quality.
Our Story: A Bridge Between Singapore and Japan
atomi, a name derived from Andrew & Tokyo-born Mitsuko, was founded in 2009 with a clear purpose: to be the authentic link between our two home countries. As a Singaporean-Japanese couple, our brand is an extension of our lives and the values we share. We started by bootstrapping our first petite boutique, curating only items we personally loved and used. Today, we remain hands-on, ensuring that every piece in our collection meets the highest standards and truly represents "the atomi way".
Bringing the atomi Lifestyle Home
Creating a comfortable and inspiring home is a journey. Whether you are looking for a statement dining table that will host decades of family meals, unique tableware to elevate your dining experience, or handcrafted lifestyle accessories that add a touch of Japanese serenity to your space, we are here to guide you. Our collection is thoughtfully curated to bring you pieces that are not only beautiful but also functional and enduring.
