The Design

About Mad Monk Diseño de interiores de bar

Mad Monk es el interior de un bar ubicado en Tokio. El diseño se inspiró en Ji Gong, un monje conocido por su amor por los viajes y el alcohol. Las paredes negras y brillantes reflejan el entorno y crean una sensación de continuidad. Las estanterías se sostienen sobre botellas de sake japonés, sin emplear ninguna unión metálica. Las luminarias están integradas en los estantes, de 18 mm de grosor, de modo que las botellas se iluminan desde abajo. La tenue luz en el interior de las botellas ilumina licores de todo el mundo. La superficie interior es de 117,4 metros cuadrados.

By making it a glossy black wall, it reflects the sight and gives out mysterious continuity.
There is no metal joint. Just bottles that are stuck in the shelves. Lighting fixtures are embedded in the shelves (thickness 18mm) to light from below. There are many beautiful things and fun things around us. Ingenuity is the key. The Japanese Sake bottles support the world's liquors as shelf structure.
