K5 Tokyo is housed in a converted 1920s bank building and presents 20 rooms on four-levels. More than a hotel, K5 emerges full force as a micro-complex of creative eateries, bars and gathering spots, where Swedish-minimalism-meets-Japanese-heritage design.
The guestrooms are characterised by the inclusion of a central, translucent 4.5m fabric 'cylinder' rising to the high ceiling. The circular room divider system SG 6103 has a diameter of 3.5m which envelops a freestanding bed with an integrated shelf and desk. The transparent fabric, partially dyed in indigo, is illuminated by a custom-made paper lamp. In all guestrooms, transparent curtains on recessed SG 6243 profiles create a light and bright room ambience with additional dimout curtains for room darkening.
