Wine Cellar

The Collector

A wine cellar that draws all eyes. It is handmade and planned for a real wine lover. The combination of the burnished steel frames with partially colored insulating glass, make it look stable but at the same time airy. With special temperature control, this walk-in room provides enough space for cooling, storing and collecting wine. On the opposite side, there is a pivot door, also handmade of burnished steel. In the recesses of the door, the colored glass is found again.

Hector

Hector is an armchair designed for indoor living spaces. The armchair combines cast aluminium, plywood, leather and solid wood in one piece. Slim solid wood arms appear to float around the upholstery, because the metal supports are hidden beneath the seat or covered with leather. Brass buttons look like upholstery details, yet they also help to hold the structure. Two delicate cast aluminium ornaments mark the back and set the position of the backrest. An internal solid wood frame, covered with foam and fabric, gives firm support. Varied textures allow customisation.

Distillery

Distillery is a showroom that brings production, shop and tasting bar together in one place. The industrial ambience is combined with traditional materials such as copper, steel, wood, glass and stone. These materials reflect the craftsmanship of the distillery and create a calm atmosphere. The central element is a standing table, lit by a lamp made from distillery bottles. Opposite the table is a bar made of raw steel with a copper surface. Warm oak contrasts with black expanded metal details. A glass lift leads to the cellar.

Baia

Baia came into existence in Shibuya the center of Tokyo metropolitan as a cave suddenly appeared in the city. It consists of 5 floors; a basement, 3 stories, and a rooftop terrace, and the design concept of the entire floor is a cave within the city. The designers believed only a minimal design could visualize the fascinating and exotic atmosphere of a cave, and kept it minimal using emerald green lighting and mortar which they think suited for this modern cave. The lighting plan of fascinating emerald green lights added glamor to the space and helped visualize the design concept.

Exhibition Booth

Moonshot Cafe

This design is for the Japan Pavilion at the CES 2023, one of the largest technology conventions in the glove. It is inspired from simplicity and minimization, the fundamental concept of Zen, which Japan has always been with since ancient times. It’s rare to have a cafe, rather than having a normal exhibition booth in a convention. The space tries to become an oasis where the interaction begins. It also focuses on transparency and spaciousness since the ceiling of the venue is low. In addition, it has lots of green, showing the eco-friendship, reducing waste, and creating a cozy atmosphere.

Mas Corporate Headquarters

Mas Corporate Headquarters is an office interior design of 1413 square meters completed in Shanghai. The color scheme uses black, white and gray, combined with orange as the corporate accent. Simple geometric lines shape an open and dynamic working environment that supports communication among staff. Transparent glass partitions extend the space visually and reduce fixed decoration. A lounge with a geometric ceiling connects to the tea room and the bar. The lounge can host up to 50 people for lectures, and sound absorbing panels limit noise reaching the work areas.
