About Aluminum Flower Garden レストラン

花をテーマにしたレストラン＆バー「FLOWER」。天井にはアルミのシートが敷き詰められています。花びらの大きさや密度の変化により、空間の微妙な高低差や広がりによって賑わいや静かな空間が生まれるなど、それぞれの空間に適した機能や雰囲気を与えます。人の位置や見る角度、壁面の鏡からの映像や光の反射などによって空間全体の見え方が常に変化し、儚く多様な雰囲気を持つ空間を体験することができます。

Behind the Design

Unique Properties: A sheet of aluminum, a recyclable material as thin and flexible as paper, spreads across the ceiling as it fills the space with its light and airy presence.

The creases in the aluminum are as many glittering and fluttering petals covering the ceiling and enfolding visitors in a flowery embrace.

Changes to the size and density of the flower petals impart the function and atmosphere suited to each area, such as lively and quiet areas created through minute differences in the height and expanse of a given space.

One’s position and angle of vision as well as the reflection of images and lights from the mirrors on the walls concur to perpetually redefine the appearance of the whole space, thus enabling the viewer to experience a space with transient and diverse atmospheres.
Dimensions & Packaging: 130 sqm

Production Technology: - Sustainable Aspects -
Moreover, since they give the space its singularity, we adapted the assembly method of the aluminum ceiling parts so as to be able to disassemble and reinstall them when moving the business to a different location. In doing so, we devised a way to effectively reduce the costs of moving
Design Challenge: The layering of minutely differing areas throughout the space gives people the opportunity to find an oasis of comfort at their own leisure.

As flowers bloom in all their glory, this delicate yet splendid flower garden provides one and all with moments of delight.
Research: Please refer to INSPIRATION
Inspiration: During the course of planning the layout for the FLOWER restaurant/bar and event space, the design team were challenged to come up with a concept that would evoke the floral imagery of the establishment’s eponymous name.

In a country with limited resources such as Japan, the spirit of Monodzukuri is the epitome of ingenuity at the service of craftsmanship.

From a single sheet of paper, which can be folded into a variety of shapes, emerged the art of Origami
From a single bolt of fabric was born one of Japan’s most iconic garments: the Kimono
From a single piece of cloth, which can be used to wrap and carry all sorts of objects, came the Furoshiki

Taking inspiration from this cultural background, the design team used a single finite material-aluminum-as a simple planar surface from which they created an engaging three-dimensional space that fulfills various functions and requirements at once.
