The Design
About Chuji Commerce
Bien que ce magasin soit situé dans la ville internationale de Tokyo, il a été conçu dans un endroit calme légèrement en retrait. Il existe de nombreux magasins tape-à-l'œil avec une atmosphère chinoise dans les environs, mais ce magasin possède une atmosphère japonaise moderne Zen. En utilisant des matériaux facilement disponibles, les coûts ont été maîtrisés, tandis que la méthode de découpe et les détails ont été ingénieusement conçus pour le rendre original et spécial. De plus, dans une optique de durabilité, des feuilles de thé usagées ont été séchées et mélangées au matériau d'enduit pour être réutilisées. C'est une expression qui est riche à la fois en apparence et en arôme.

Behind the Design

- Unique Properties
- Cost control is important, especially when designing a small-scale store. By using readily available materials rather than special materials, we were able to keep costs down, while also creating an original and special space by devising cutting methods and details.
In addition, used tea leaves were dried, crushed, and mixed into the plastering materials. Even after being mixed in, the fragrance and slight color were extracted, and the texture was also evident, resulting in a unique finish. - Dimensions & Packaging
- Area 66 Square meter , Ceiling height 2450mm , Seating capacity 10 people

- Production Technology
- Another existing store discards about 600 kg of used tea leaves per year.It cannot be served to customers again, but it still has enough aroma and consciousness left in it.Of course, we will not be able to reuse or upcycle all of these materials in this project.Not only will this project appeal to the senses of touch and smell, but it will also raise awareness of sustainability at the same time.
- Design Challenge
- There are no straight sections in the seating area of this store.It is difficult to arrange tables efficiently.So we arranged a large table that follows the curve. However, a large table is inevitably heavy.To make it look lighter, we gave it a single leg and hung the end from the ceiling. This created a mysterious space where something heavy appears to be floating in the air.
- Inspiration
- The store is located in the multinational city of Tokyo.
Although there are many fancy Chinese restaurants in the neighborhood, we have created a gentle space that appeals to the senses of sight, touch, and smell, aiming for a modern Tokyo-style Chinese store. - Project Duration
- The project started in April 2023 and finished in Aril 2024 in Tokyo
- Operation Flow
- Customers can choose and purchase products from the display cases and shelves, and those who make a reservation can enjoy a course set that includes carefully selected Chinese tea and sweets.
