About Oita Soho 모던 재패니즈 레스토랑

오이타 소호는 일본적 영향을 지닌 세련되고 편안한 공간을 조성하고, 곳곳에 식물이 가득한 캐주얼한 분위기의 오이타 첫 번째 레스토랑에서 확립된 정체성을 일부 계승하도록 디자인되었습니다. 이 공간은 미학적 요소와 문화적 요소의 융합인 독특하고 주목할 만한 경험을 제공하기 위해 기존의 미니멀한 현대 일본 디자인 접근법 이상의 것을 필요로 했습니다. 이 작업은 일본 예술, 디자인, 건축에서 어둠과 그림자의 사용, 의미, 미학을 논하는 다니자키 준이치로의 에세이 "음예예찬"에서 영감을 받았습니다.

Unique Properties: It was designed to create a sophisticated, relaxing space with Japanese influences, and carrying some of the identity established in Oita's first restaurant, informal and verdant with plants throughout the space. The space required more than the conventional approaches of minimalistic modern Japanese design to deliver a distinct, remarkable experience that is a synthesis of aesthetic and cultural elements.

The space required more than the conventional approaches of minimalistic modern Japanese design, to deliver a distinct, remarkable experience that is a synthesis of aesthetic and cultural elements.Backlit paper parasols are placed overlapping in a flowing pattern that follows the stairs creating a feature wall to surprise and delight leading visitors to the upper level. The warm light of the parasols is accentuated in the dark. Lighting is careful and muted throughout relying on position and shades. Two mirrors placed parallel in opposite directions reflect the lights infinitely in their depths, adding to the glow and mystery of the space.
Dimensions & Packaging: The area of project is

Tags: Japanese restaurant design, muzo, Oita, interior design, restaurant design, Japanese design, chinatown
Production Technology: Grade II Listed Building
Material: Fire retardant timber & veneered oak MDF throughout.
Design Challenge: As it was a Grade II listed building, the history of the premises was researched in depth prior to work. Great consideration was given at design stage and fit-out work was carried out carefully. Any finishes that needed repairing was matched to the original finish.
Research: The space is abundant with plants and botanical imagery bringing a sense of exotic night garden or conservatory. Artworks by Imao Keinen featuring birds in seasonal settings with plants and flowers feature throughout, furthering the theme, Keinen’s masterful use of colours is utilised to play with the décor palette introducing flashes of bright colour that are echoed elsewhere, harmonising with the greenery and midnight shades to effect a unique, spectral contrast. The effect has almost the feeling of Japanese lacquerware artwork made real where living forms are presented luminously against the deep dark of lacquer surfaces.
Inspiration: The work was inspired by the Tanizaki essay 'In Praise of Shadows' which discusses the use, meaning and aesthetics of darkness and shadows in Japanese art, design and architecture.
Project Duration: The project was completed in January 2023 in London.
Operation Flow: Backlit paper parasols are placed overlapping in a flowing pattern that follows the stairs creating a feature wall to surprise and delight leading visitors to the upper level. The warm light of the parasols is accentuated in the dark.
Lighting is careful and muted throughout relying on position and shades.
