The Design

About Be:side Kafe dan Kecantikan

Bagi cabaran baharu Funabashiya yang mempunyai sejarah panjang sejak tahun 1805 sebagai kedai mochi ubi garut, para pereka bentuk merasakan adalah penting untuk kembali kepada akar mereka sendiri dan menghargai sejarah panjang mereka, maka, mereka mengadaptasi beranda wisteria ikonik dari kedai utama mereka kepada reka bentuk keseluruhan pintu masuk. Bukan sahaja reka bentuk dinamik pintu masuk ini menonjol di kawasan kediaman yang tenang di Aoyama dan menarik perhatian orang ramai, malah ia juga berfungsi sebagai tempat duduk luar untuk pelanggan mereka.

Unique Properties: Funabashiya is an arrowroot mochi store with a long history since 1805, and this shop is their new conceptual shop focusing on health and beauty. The wisteria arbor at Funabashiya's flagship store became iconic to their customer.
For new challenge of our client Funabashiya which is with a long history since 1805 as arrowroot mochi store, the designers thought it is important to return to their own roots and cherish their long history. Therefore, they adopted the iconic wisteria arbor of Funabashiya's flagship store to the design of the whole entrance. Not only the dynamic design of the entrance stands out in the quiet residence area in Aoyama and caught people’s attentions, but it also functions as outside seating for their customers.

Production Technology: To emphasize the linear design, the dark grey tiles runs from the terrace to the end of the store, and it makes the store look deeper and the terrace roof inspired by the wisteria arbor more dynamic. The designers kept the interior minimum and simple to make their products stands out and carefully plan the lighting to make the space bright enough but not too plain and boring by creating contrast of light.
Inspiration: Inspiration came from the wisteria arbor at “Funabashiya” flagship store in Kameido. The wisteria arbor became iconic to their customer over the years of their history. For their new challenge, the designers thought it is important to return to their own roots and cherish their long history.
Project Duration: The project started in January 2020 and finished in July 2020 in Shibuya, Japan
