Introducing THE JAPANDI HOME: A Unique Fusion of Scandinavian and Japanese Design

THE JAPANDI HOME: Where Scandinavian Meets Japanese Design

In a remarkable collaboration, Zero Renovation, led by CEO Satoru Ebinuma, is set to unveil THE JAPANDI HOME, a unique renovation project designed in partnership with Swedish DIY creator Anton Wallman. Officially on the market starting September 6, 2025, this innovative living space promises to capture the hearts of design enthusiasts worldwide.

A Creative Collaboration

With over two million followers on social media, Anton Wallman is not just a DIY creator but also a model for global fashion brands. His experience in the industry has provided him with a unique perspective that he brings to this project. THE JAPANDI HOME marks Wallman’s first venture into residential renovation, and he aims to combine the aesthetics of his native Scandinavian culture with the elegance of Japanese space design.

The project originated from inquiries received by Wallman through his YouTube channel, where he offers advice on property hunting and renovations. Many foreign residents in Japan expressed challenges with the local housing market, stating that new apartments often do not fit their aesthetic tastes, and that they are accustomed to a different style of living back home. This feedback revealed a gap in the market, prompting Wallman and Zero Renovation to act.

Project Background

This initiative aligns with Zen principles epitomized by the idea of 'knowing contentment'. Recognizing the increasing demand for distinctive living spaces, this partnership aims to address the needs of foreigners living in Japan who seek a home that fits their expectations. By marrying Wallman's minimalist Scandinavian approach with Zero Renovation’s zealous craftsmanship, THE JAPANDI HOME showcases the culmination of meaningful design.

In a world where design, functionality, and location are paramount, THE JAPANDI HOME emerges as a solution that resonates with modern needs.
