About Tokumitsu Taanto Avaliku tualettruumi sisekujundus

Tokumitsu Taanto on avaliku tualettruumi sisekujundus, mis asub Hakusanis, Ishikawas, Jaapanis. Ruumi pindala on 25 ruutmeetrit ja lae kõrgus 2,90 meetrit. Seinu katab enam kui 3000 kuldlehe plaati. Iga plaat on 200-millimeetrine ruudukujuline tekstuurse pinnaga portselanplaat, mis on viimistletud käsitsi kantud Kanazawa kuldlehega. Plaadid on paigutatud tumedale taustale ning kaudne valgustus on seatud nii, et see tooks esile kulla peegeldava omaduse. Kujundus rakendab traditsioonilist Jaapani käsitööd kaasaegses avalikus ruumis.
