It ynterieur beslacht 2263 fjouwerkante foet en hat gjin ruten, sadat it ûntwerp de foarm oannimt fan in kristalgrot. Refleksjearjende oerflakken en waarme ferljochting fleane de romte op en ferminderje it gefoel fan ynsluting. In weagjende oerflak fan roastfrij stiel foarmet in mar by it plafond fan de yngong, en smelle rotsen wurde makke troch trijediminsjonaal printsjen. In beam stiet yn it sintrum en groeit nei it ljocht ta. De neigesetbar is by de yngong pleatst om it bestellen makliker te meitsjen.
