The Design

About Bean to Bar Lounge Lounge

Tärkeä elementti suunnittelussa oli tuoda esiin käytettyjen materiaalien vetovoima. Tärkein käytetty materiaali oli länsipunainen setri, jota käytetään myös heidän ensimmäisessä myymälässään Japanissa. Tapana näyttää materiaalia Riki Watanabe pinotti mosaiikkikuvion kasaamalla kappaleita yksi kerrallaan parketiksi hyödyntäen materiaalien olemusta epätasaisin värein. Vaikka samoja materiaaleja käytettiin, leikkaamalla ne pois, Riki Watanabe pystyi onnistuneesti muuttamaan lausekkeita katselukulmasta riippuen.
