A french footware brand “iGUANEYE” opened the first real store in Japan. 990 pieces of 0.6㎜ thin aluminum panels cover the inside of the store and it is called “shelter”. All the panels are numbered triangle and cut by laser cutter. Then they were bent one by one to fit the space adjusting the shape and angle. Nice combination of computational design and craftsmanship, you see here. In the silver room, there are solid cedar cubes to show up colorful merchandises.

The interior of this soba noodle bar SHUBARI used effectively natural mud for surfaces of walls and columns. The mud is mixed with a little cement to have basic retention and it has unusually fragile surface that you can easily scratch. Also, five meter long sold wood counter without any supports, white plaster mixed with radish, dirt floor with sum ink, small garden are impressive. The garden is decorated by four meter high willow, maple, moss, and natural stone, representing a Japanese taste.

Lawry's The Prime Rib is L.A.based old restaurant and it opened the first branch in Akasaka, Tokyo thirteen years ago. This time they opned the second one in Ebisu Garden Place commercial complex in Tokyo. As the project site was formerly a beer factory, so the interior designer used eloquently used salvaged old wood and bricks, intending to make authentic establishment that will last more than twenty years. Edisonian filament decorative lamp details and calming lighting plan, which might look a bit dark, work well to produce a contemporary good American atmosphere.
