WORKAHOLIC: A Select Shop for Office Furniture
WORKAHOLIC (Warukahorikku), a select shop for office furniture, has opened in Akasaka, with the concept of creating "workspaces that make work so enjoyable you become addicted." Centered on high-performance office chairs, it offers a total approach to working styles by combining desks, cabinets, desk lights, and walls to create a unified space.

Total Direction by Sawai Akihito, Representative of Androp
Located just a 3-minute walk from Tokyo Metro's Akasaka-mitsuke Station and a 2-minute walk from Akasaka Station, WORKAHOLIC is more than just a showroom and retail space for office furniture. It's a cutting-edge environment that proposes styled working spaces for various professions, focusing on high-performance office chairs from international brands like Ergohuman, Herman Miller, Wilkhahn, Steelcase, and Girsberger, as well as domestic brands. The selection extends to desks, cabinets, desk lights, desktop items, and even flooring.
Sawai Akihito, Representative of Androp, who handled the total direction of WORKAHOLIC, shared a message for OPENERS readers: "Have you ever visited an office furniture store? While many people have likely visited home furnishing stores, quite a few haven't been to an office furniture store. One of WORKAHOLIC's appeals is its free styling that breaks down brand barriers. It's a shop that can be enjoyed not only by those who haven't paid much attention to office furniture before, but also by those who already own high-performance chairs like the Aeron Chair, as a piece of interior design."
Here, you can experience a work environment designed for human comfort based on ergonomics, considering physiological and psychological characteristics. You can also compare approximately 60 high-performance office chairs from top domestic and international brands on-site, with dedicated chair concierges available to assist with various inquiries. Furthermore, a limited selection of high-performance office chairs can be rented for one yen.
