Overview

Social Interior combines an individual furniture subscription service (Subsclife), an off‑price marketplace for surplus and reused furniture, and a B2B order/management cloud for the furniture industry. Its mission is “use good things longer, realize a circular society,” and it targets both consumers and corporate clients with office construction and space design services. The company’s Subsclife offering began in March 2018 and provides monthly subscription access to furniture and appliances; the Off‑Price marketplace allows purchase of manufacturer excess inventory and reused corporate items. The B2B product, Social Interior業務管理クラウド, centralizes product data and aims to DX procurement and spec‑in workflows across designers, retailers, and manufacturers. With these three pillars it seeks to expand market share, accelerate industry DX, and drive circularity in the furniture sector. Social Interior was founded on November 9, 2016 and lists headquarters in Minato‑ku, Tokyo. Social Interior (株式会社ソーシャルインテリア) offers a furniture subscription service, “サブスクライフ”, and an off‑price furniture marketplace, “サブスクライフ オフプライス”. The company’s mission is to create a society where quality goods circulate. It closed a Series C round and raised approximately ¥2 billion, including a third‑party allotment and loans from financial institutions. Proceeds will be used to expand share of both services and accelerate initiatives that enable use without ownership and encourage furniture reuse. The company is based in Minato‑ku, Tokyo and is led by CEO Ken Machino.
