The Design

About Chuji Maloprodaja

Iako se ova prodavnica nalazi u međunarodnom gradu Tokiju, planirana je na mirnoj lokaciji nešto povučenoj. U okolnom području ima mnogo upečatljivih prodavnica sa kineskom atmosferom, ali ova prodavnica ima modernu japansku atmosferu Zen. Korištenjem lako dostupnih materijala, troškovi su bili smanjeni, dok su metoda rezanja i detalji ingeniozno dizajnirani kako bi bio originalan i poseban. Također, imajući na umu održivost, korišteni listovi čaja su osušeni i pomješani u malterski materijal za ponovnu upotrebu. To je izraz koji je bogat kako po izgledu tako i po mirisu.

Behind the Design

Press Kit

Credits, team members and technical details provided by the designer.

Unique Properties: Cost control is important, especially when designing a small-scale store. By using readily available materials rather than special materials, we were able to keep costs down, while also creating an original and special space by devising cutting methods and details.
In addition, used tea leaves were dried, crushed, and mixed into the plastering materials. Even after being mixed in, the fragrance and slight color were extracted, and the texture was also evident, resulting in a unique finish.
Dimensions & Packaging: Area 66 Square meter , Ceiling height 2450mm , Seating capacity 10 people
Tags: chinese, tea, sweets, teahouse, factory
Production Technology: Another existing store discards about 600 kg of used tea leaves per year.It cannot be served to customers again, but it still has enough aroma and consciousness left in it.Of course, we will not be able to reuse or upcycle all of these materials in this project.Not only will this project appeal to the senses of touch and smell, but it will also raise awareness of sustainability at the same time.
Design Challenge: There are no straight sections in the seating area of this store.It is difficult to arrange tables efficiently.So we arranged a large table that follows the curve. However, a large table is inevitably heavy.To make it look lighter, we gave it a single leg and hung the end from the ceiling. This created a mysterious space where something heavy appears to be floating in the air.
Inspiration: The store is located in the multinational city of Tokyo.
Although there are many fancy Chinese restaurants in the neighborhood, we have created a gentle space that appeals to the senses of sight, touch, and smell, aiming for a modern Tokyo-style Chinese store.
Project Duration: The project started in April 2023 and finished in Aril 2024 in Tokyo
Operation Flow: Customers can choose and purchase products from the display cases and shelves, and those who make a reservation can enjoy a course set that includes carefully selected Chinese tea and sweets.
