Takeshi Okuwada

Salon

Sunday, 30 July 2023

Mook

The interior of this salon is made up of uneven oak pieces in the middle of the sawing process. The unevenness of the oak absorbs the light from the outside, giving it depth and allowing it to penetrate deep into the room. The interior also extends outwards, giving the impression of a cave, with the interior and exterior designed as one. The glass facade reflects the activity of the salon in the city, making the movement of people part of the design.

Cinema

Fab

Fab is a cinema interior located in Xi'an, China, covering a floor area of 1150 square meters. The design moves a film shooting scene into the main hall, so visitors become both an audience in reality and an imagined participant in a movie production. Custom furniture supports the theme, including a bathtub sofa, director style rest seats and a ticket counter shaped like a set box. A lounge bar and entertainment features such as a claw machine are combined with four viewing halls. Acoustic requirements and seating comfort were considered throughout.

Thanks to technology, Heya can be dramatically reconfigured by guests to suit their purpose with a space-saving ceiling-mounted bed. The room features high quality and sustainable materials and has been designed to accommodate four guest types: Leisure, Business, Wellness and Long-stay.
