Acute is a furniture store not to be overlooked.
Acute carries beautiful, new furniture made primarily of teak wood from Indonesia. Crafted in Indonesia, the furniture is shipped to Okinawa where the owner personally stains and finishes each piece.
Amidst the dressers, buffets, tables and chairs, sit this one of a kind hand-carved world map desk. While the inlaid plaque says it’s number one of one hundred, the owner told me the crafter gave up this project during desk number two.
Acute worked with a French builder to recreate this Antonio Gaudi piece.
From Africa, there are gorgeous fabrics, pillows, decorations for your home and a table of dog clothing. Acute also has a jewelry collection.
In business for over 20 years, Acute has a second location on floor two of the Plaza House Shopping Center.
{Editor’s Note 9/12/11: The Ginowan branch of this store is no longer in operation; at this time it is still unknown whether the Plaza House Shopping Center branch is still open.}
