Check out the second season of A Style Is Born here:    • A Style Is Born (Season 2)  

Welcome to A Style is Born, hosted by YouTuber, stylist, and DIY icon Alexandra Gater! To kick off Season 3 of A Style Is Born, we explore the history of floor culture as a part of Japanese interior design. In Japan, floor culture has to do with more than functionality, it’s a philosophy. So next time you see a friend with their mattress directly on the floor, know that they might actually be onto something.

A Style Is Born is a series where we go down the rabbit hole and uncover the unique histories and origin stories behind your favorite international design styles.
