The Design

About Bean to Bar Lounge Lounge

Un element important al acestui proiect a fost acela de a scoate în evidență materialele utilizate. Materialul principal folosit a fost cedrul roșu occidental, care este folosit și în primul lor magazin din Japonia. Ca mod de a arăta materialul, Riki Watanabe a stivuit un model de mozaic, îngrămădind piese una câte una ca un parchet, folosind esența materialelor de culori inegale. În ciuda folosirii acelorași materiale, prin tăierea lor, Riki Watanabe a fost capabil să modifice expresiile în funcție de unghiurile de vizualizare.
