The Design

About Teru Sushi Restaurantindretning

Teru Sushi er en sushirestaurantindretning i Kitakyushu City, Japan. Rummet på 95 kvadratmeter blev skabt ved at renovere et eksisterende spisested. Gæsterne træder ind gennem en passage inspireret af teceremonien, som opbygger forventning inden hovedrummet. En cirkulær disk står i centrum og fungerer som en scene, så alle pladser giver frit udsyn til kokken. Lervægge, italienske fliser, asketræ og keramiske fliser fremstillet i Mino-keramiktraditionen omgiver en poleret stenoverflade. Belysningen fremhæver gastronomien og håndværket.
