Interviews
Design Interview
What is the main principle, idea and inspiration behind your design?
I prioritize the quality of materials over their color and shape. I avoid using fake materials like faux wood grain or faux leather because they can diminish the authenticity of real materials. It's akin to how a small amount of mold can spoil an entire batch of food. Genuine materials have the power to enhance a space and create a wonderful atmosphere, allowing people to feel the warmth of real wood, for example. I believe that the role of a designer is to combine these elements to improve a space and evoke emotions in those who visit it.
What has been your main focus in designing this work? Especially what did you want to achieve?
It was crucial to translate the client's concept into spatial design effectively. Infusing meaning into the design was pivotal for creating a compelling spatial experience.
What are your future plans for this award winning design?
My future plans include participating in several international awards. Recently, I was honored as a finalist for the Architizer A+ Award, a prestigious recognition among five global finalists. Additionally, I have received the 'Most Viewed & Most Popular' Award from Frame Magazine for two consecutive terms, celebrating both critical acclaim and global audience appreciation.

- Unique Properties
- The walls and floors are finished with plaster materials, and all the furniture, including tables, chairs, counters, and partitions, is meticulously created from oak.
The sofa seating area features illuminated rattan partitions that radiate beautiful light from within, gracefully enveloping the space. The rattan itself is a traditional craft, skillfully created by artisans from a specialty shop with a legacy dating back to 1926 in Hiroshima, Japan. - Tags
- Japanese, Modern, Rattan,
- Production Technology
- Brass frame has been installed to attach the rattan. The reflection of light from the rattan weave onto the brass frame adds a beautiful shine when combined with the rattan. Furthermore, special processing has been applied to enhance the grain pattern of the oak, allowing you to enjoy the patina over time.
- Inspiration
- In Japan, traditional rattan is typically used as a framework for items like chairs.
However, i envisioned creating a unique spatial accent by highlighting the contrast of the rattan weave from within through illumination, believing that it enhances the beauty of the space. - Project Duration
- This Restaurant is Opened in Shibuya Tokyo Japan in January 2024.
- Operation Flow
- To attach rattan to oak partitions, I secured it with brass frames, enhancing the space's beauty through the reflection of light.
Achieving a fantastical illumination required meticulous adjustments to the distance between the rattan and the light source.
Balancing the light was crucial; too much intensity risked creating a dazzling effect, while too little hindered the effective expression of the rattan's beauty. - Image Credits
