The Design

About Bean to Bar Lounge O Salón

Un elemento importante deste deseño foi poñer en evidencia o atractivo dos materiais empregados. O principal material empregado foi o cedro vermello occidental, que tamén se emprega na súa primeira tenda en Xapón. Como xeito de amosar o material, Riki Watanabe amontoou un patrón de mosaico ao xuntar pezas unha a unha coma un parquet, facendo uso da esencia dos materiais de cores irregulares. A pesar de usar os mesmos materiais, cortándoos, Riki Watanabe foi capaz de variar as expresións segundo os ángulos de visión.
