The Design

About Teru Sushi Restauranginredning

Teru Sushi är en sushirestauranginredning i Kitakyushu, Japan. Den 95 kvadratmeter stora lokalen skapades genom att renovera en befintlig restauranglokal. Gästerna träder in genom en passage inspirerad av teceremonin, vilket bygger upp förväntan inför huvudrummet. En cirkulär disk står i centrum och fungerar som en scen, så att varje plats erbjuder fri sikt mot kocken. Lerväggar, italienskt kakel, askträ och keramikplattor tillverkade enligt Mino-keramiktraditionen omger en polerad stenyta. Belysningen framhäver maten och hantverket.
