This French restaurant is simply laid out in a from of two bench seats for two walls and the round tables located in the center of the interior so that staff can take a survey in there. Seamless painted walls, perfectly flat plaster walls, and warm oak decorations ceiling boards share the same calmness and hospitality. There is a stonewall near sashed terrace and it gives a depth spatially. Each table has drawer to stock sufficient cutlery for courses for customers to use on their own.

This chained restaurant is famous for its grilled meat “churrasco” , which is served and cut by staff called “persuader” for each table and the intriguing manner makes a selling point.

A store of DESCENT BLANC, a new brand of DESCENT, opened in Fukuoka. The interior design theme is to introduce movement in the environment. The designer re-considered an activity of staff who fetches an items from a stockroom to shoppers. As a result, here they introduced innovative hangers which moves up and down and deliver needed items to a shopper instantly. The hangers are also decoration, so the positions of the items change everyday.

FEATURE ARTICLE 2/Fashion Store

RHC RON HERMAN Osaka

(Page 139)

 


The second RHC store, a concept store of Ron Herman, opened in Lalaport Expocity Osaka, following the first one in Minatomirai Yokohama. It is two-storied and the first floor sells men’s and women’s garments, everyday goods, art pieces, and sporting gears and the second floor is a cafe.
Based upon a brand’s basic theme “nature of Ron Herman”, this store deepens it as “self build” concept. The exterior uses salvaged lumbers and the tables look so rough and coarse as they were as if just made from woods in the mountains. Also a layman’s log-framed-house is attractive. Not only pros but also matures are found of this atmosphere and are motivated to make something.
Designer : Miki Yoshida / SO,u INC.

 



FOCUS

SHIBUYA MODI

(Page 184)



For the first time in thirty years since it opened at a corner of Koen-dori, Shibuya, Marui City Shibuya was reborn currently as Shibuya MODI with new mixed tenants, to activate the local market. The main environmental design theme of this project is intellectual commercial space gathering appealing tenants for visitors to play, learn, create, and wind up here. The environmental design is, as whole, quite simple and visitors could appreciate even secular change of the materials used.
