Cafe Pause has some new chairs. If you’re interested in the design, I believe the designer, Koji Kimura, has shown interest in coming to the next PauseTalk.

Jean Snow lives and breathes design and pop culture in Tokyo -- sustained by an unhealthy addiction to magazines and frequent visits to his favorites cafes. He has reported on these obsessions for the following online/offline publications: Time, Inside (Australian Design Review), Gizmodo, Gridskipper, Kotaku, Tokyo Q, Superfuture, OK Fred, Arthur Frommer's Budget Travel, I.D. (International Design), Metropolis, Azure, MoCo Loco, Kateigaho International Edition, Game|Life, and The Japan Times. He also manages the gallery space at Cafe Pause.
Jean Snow is a daily contributor to Wired magazine's game blog, Game|Life, covering game news from Japan and beyond.
Tokyolife: Art and Design covers Tokyo's cultural output of the past few years, covering the works of over 80 influential creatives. Jean Snow provided coordination assistance.
The Superfuture Superguides are a series of PDF travel guides to some of your favorites cities, updated monthly, and obsessively compiling the best places to shop, eat, and drink. The Tokyo guide is edited by Jean Snow.
He is also the design/culture editor at Neojaponisme, a web journal covering social and cultural aspects of Japan. Read the manifesto, by founder and chief editor W. David Marx, here.
PauseTalk is a regular series of events that take place at Cafe Pause on the first Monday of every month, with a start time of 20:00. The idea is to create a forum where Tokyo-based creatives can get together and discuss their own projects, as well as cultural currents of the city. The next edition happens August 4 (there is no July edition).

They look really nice, although I wonder how comfortable they are.
I’ve always liked the look of the leather chairs there too. It’s rare to see such a classy chair that simple.
Of all the chairs he’s had at the cafe, this is by far the most comfortable one.
It is heavy?
If ever I get mean and decide to parody this blog, I will run an in-depth Onion-style feature entitled “New Chair at Cafe Pause… Jean Snow reports”.
Hold page 1, Time Magazine!
Haven’t tried lifting it, but it probably ways as much as the other chairs at the cafe.
Hey, people like the chair! I think that makes it newsworthy in a blog that covers design in Tokyo/Japan!
The design and color kicks major ass!!!!Bookmarked!!! Lovely Chairs!!!
