Raw

The design team used mineral paint and wood to bring the silent beauty of wabi-sabi into the space, while the arcs allow people to feel the beauty of nature and roundness together. The light color reflects the texture of the mineral paint, and the original wood color retains the purest appearance. The raw texture of the material brings a different look to the space. The design team eliminated the complicated design to present raw imagery and finally used simple lines and layout to form a pure wabi-sabi impression. The images of "wabi-sabi" and "raw" are fully expressed. The "wabi-sabi" is embodied in the inlay of open bar shelving and hidden cabinets, which weaken the volume of the space. In this way, the blank space between objects creates a sense of solitude, revealing the concepts of minimalism, low-profile, and plainness. The arc design with mineral paint at the turning point presents a natural visual, and the irregular texture of the mineral lacquer is a metaphor for the imperfect aesthetics of Japanese life. As for the ceiling, it is designed with a curved shape. On the one hand, it can reduce the pressure of the ceiling, and on the other, it can make the lighting evenly diffuse to create a unique aesthetic of wabi-sabi. However, the "raw" is presented in the mineral paint on the ceiling and the wood grain floor. There are no excessive lines in the plain design, only the natural appearance of the material. It is like the original color of the space, with spots in the minerals and pores in the wood grain. Through indirect lighting, the space looks flawless from a distance, but up close, there is a natural sense of rawness. The unadorned color is the base of the space, and the furnishings and lighting embellishments create a unique atmosphere.
