Production Technology
Each door is made of textured materials such as wood and steel. The inorganic aluminum automatic doors are covered with wood-grain sheets and antique-looking film.
Three-dimensional wooden objet d'art fixtures with pineapple motifs are installed around the pillars. The ceiling is finished with impressive pineapple leaves crawling on the ceiling. Karp, a light material, is used to accent the motif of the three-dimensional lattice ceiling, which is reminiscent of a pineapple fruit among the leaves.

We had to solve them one by one, so we used communication tools to obtain the agreement of all parties involved.
Inspiration
As an approach to the winery lounge, which won the Silver A' Design Award in 2021, it will be a place to enjoy the excitement of getting to the winery, eating original snacks, and shopping. We aim to create a theme park-like worldview that will uplift anyone just by visiting. The space will incorporate details similar to a winery lounge, but with pop images such as characters.
The space is coordinated to harmonize with the overall design of the original commercial facilities in the other Nago Pineapple Parks currently under planning.
Project Duration
The design for this project was commissioned in August 2019 and construction was completed in March 2020, but due to the coronavirus the opening was not immediate and the project did not become operational until August 2021. However, as of now, the corona has not ended, so the project is not fully open.
