Unique Properties
As Kama-Asa Shop's policy is set on belief that good tools are made for good reason, it delivers to the customers excellent skills of craftsmen, which make kitchen utensils.
Therefore, the most appropriate for the shop's space was to show architectural skills of craftsmen. The rebar that is usually hidden in the wall became the main design.
Handrails and furniture were designed with rebar. Although they are simple, they still require the use of craftsman skills.
