The Design

About Bean to Bar Lounge Lounge

Et vigtigt element i dette design var at få appel til de anvendte materialer. Det vigtigste anvendte materiale var vestlig rød cedertræ, som også bruges i deres første butik i Japan. Som en måde at vise materialet stablede Riki Watanabe et mosaikmønster op ved at hælde stykker sammen ad gangen som en parket og brugte essensen af materialer ujævne farver. På trods af at have anvendt de samme materialer var Riki Watanabe med succes at kunne skifte udtryk afhængigt af synsvinklerne ved at skære dem ud.
