Waterscape Colab with JPRE

Waterscape Colab with Jpre is a shared office interior in Tokyo, Japan, covering 800 square meters.

In the sofa lounge and desk areas the waves are calmer and the ceiling is higher, supporting concentration and rest. In the bar and kitchen areas the waves stay low, creating a close setting. The ceiling parts can be taken apart and installed again in another location.

A revolving door of 8.5 meters in height rotates 360 degrees without a ground track, and a large folding screen is carried by an upper steel truss. The existing pipelines were reorganized and combined with custom mechanical devices. Idle interior areas are transformed into an active public space for exhibitions, art and commerce.

Kromme

Inspired by the natural pattern of ocean waves, the Kromme Table uses a single strip of veneer to symbolize the continuous flow of the sea. Crafted entirely out of solid walnut, the veneer sections are laminated using thin pieces molded together to form a sculpture like curve. Minimal supports crafted from aluminum are added for strength. The glass top provides a clear view of the wood grain beneath. The Kromme Table is a sculptural statement for those who want a piece of furniture that is both stylish and functional.

A final touch of artisan care invites the guests to savor the warmth of home.
