Amadana: The Cadillac of Calculators

As seen in my article in InsideOut magazine.
Architect Shuwa Tei’s sculptural calculators are cult items in well-heeled Japanese circles. He has designed Tokyo’s first boutique hotel (the Claska Hotel) in addition to a kitchen appliance line for Toshiba. At the Amadana flagship store in Omotosando Hills, well-dressed couples pore over glass display cases of those sleek calculators ($60-$85), angular phones with bamboo casings ($220), and retro-styled electronic housewares like a mini-baking ovens ($150). I haven’t used a calculate in years, but Tei’s classy number cruncher proved an enticing tool for calculating how much I’d been spending on this shopping outing.
