The Design

About Bean to Bar Lounge Lounge

Ett viktigt element i denna design var att få fram överklagandet av de använda materialen. Det huvudsakliga materialet som användes var västra röd cederträ, som också används i deras första butik i Japan. Som ett sätt att visa materialet staplade Riki Watanabe upp ett mosaikmönster genom att stapla ihop bitar en efter en som en parkett, och använde essensen i material ojämna färger. Trots att de använde samma material kunde Riki Watanabe genom att klippa ut dem framgångsrikt variera uttryck beroende på betraktningsvinklarna.
