The Design

About Teru Sushi Design de Interiores de Restaurante

O Teru Sushi é um interior de restaurante de sushi na cidade de Kitakyushu, no Japão. O espaço de 95 metros quadrados foi criado a partir da reforma de um estabelecimento gastronômico já existente. Os clientes entram por uma passagem inspirada na cerimônia do chá, que desperta a expectativa antes do salão principal. Um balcão circular ocupa o centro e funciona como um palco, de modo que cada assento oferece uma visão clara do chef. Paredes de terra, ladrilhos italianos, madeira de freixo e azulejos cerâmicos produzidos segundo a tradição da cerâmica Mino envolvem um acabamento em pedra polida. A iluminação valoriza a culinária e o trabalho artesanal.
