INTRODUCTION // CONTEXT OF PRESENCE
FORM FOLLOWS EMOTION
A tribute to Japanese craftsmanship on a global scale. We utilized charred 'Shou Sugi Ban' oak and 24k gold leaf accents to create a bar that feels like a sacred object. The structure follows the 'Ma' (negative space) principle — where what's absent is as important as what's present. This project is the peak of quiet luxury for the world's most iconic Japanese brand.
