About Ricca Primary Function: Deseño de interior de bar

Book Text: RICCA é o interior dun bar en Kagurazaka, Tokio, un distrito que conserva unha atmosfera tradicional xaponesa. O deseño expresa o Hanami, o costume xaponés de contemplar as flores de cerdeira que dura só unhas semanas a principios da primavera. Os teitos de ambos os espazos están cubertos con obxectos en forma de flor feitos de resina con láminas holográficas, cortados con láser e dobrados a man. A luz situada no interior e no exterior reflíctese en cores cambiantes, de xeito que os obxectos aparecen como pétalos que revolotean. Engádese unha película vermella semitransparente na zona do salón, mentres que a sala privada de karaoke reflicte a luz de forma natural.

Unique Properties: "Ricca" is a bar, located at Kagurazaka.　
Even now, there are Japanese traditional atmosphere and alley in this town.
I created this design to express Japanese aesthetic sense.
In Japan, there is cultural event is known as “Hanami”, which means “cherry blossom viewing”. This unique event is happened only in couples of week of early spring.
Inspired by this moment, I designed this bar with beauty, glamorous, strength and fragility of Hanami.

Production Technology: The ceilings of both spaces are covered with deformed flower objects. The objects are made of resin with hologram sheets and cut with a laser. Guests can see various colors and reflected lights because of the feature of the hologram sheets and they appear to be fluttering flowers. I added half-transparent red color film on the resin objects to create a more bewitching atmosphere in the lounge area. Meanwhile, in the private karaoke room I had the hologram to reflect the lights naturally in order to produce more active feelings. In the center of the room I hung the hologram objects from the ceiling and put the light from both inside and outside. The light from the outside gets reflected randomly in the room and from inside projects flower-like expression onto the ceiling and the wall.
Design Challenge: All the reflection of this object at this place are different, cause of the angle of ceiling, light and air circulation.
So, I had to take many samples and experiment to set properly.
And also all the hologram materials are bend an pressed by hands, so it provides the lighting reflection randomly.
Research: When I was walking down street, the streets have many trees of cherry with blossom opens and fluttered, I was surprised this unique moment.
Then I realized that if I can express cherry flowers’ beauty, glamorous, strength and fragility, which will be great design and concept for any of spaces like bar and lounge.
Inspiration: To express Hanami's beauty, glamorous, strength and fragility, I use a resin with hologram sheets with laser cut as fluttering flowers. Then I hung the hologram objects from the ceiling and put the light from both inside and outside. And also, I create two areas. One is lounge area that has atmosphere with glamorous and beauty, the other is private karaoke room area that has active side of Hanami, like energy, strength and more.
