About Teru Sushi Disseny d'interiors de restaurant

Teru Sushi és l'interior d'un restaurant de sushi a la ciutat de Kitakyushu, al Japó. L'espai de 95 metres quadrats es va crear renovant un local gastronòmic existent. Els clients hi entren a través d'un passatge inspirat en la cerimònia del te, que genera expectació abans d'arribar a la sala principal. Al centre s'alça un taulell circular que actua com un escenari, de manera que cada seient ofereix una visió clara del xef. Parets de terra, rajoles italianes, fusta de freixe i rajoles ceràmiques elaborades segons la tradició terrissera de Mino envolten un acabat de pedra polida. La il·luminació posa en relleu la cuina i l'artesania.
