Public area of the restaurant floor at the department store.
Under the theme of “Tsugu (to succeed),” floor is designed with a motif
of Noren tapestry.
Noren is iconic tapestry to be hanged at the shop front
to be succeeded for generations.
Original vermillion color in gradation is first created onto the genuine silk
by the dyeing technique of the Kyoto artisan, before being transformed
to be digital image.
Together with the drawing art featuring various Japanese ingredients,
it is printed onto the organdy fabric.
Layers of translucent fabrics create depth of the color and dramatic lighting effect.
Design to connect 6 individual restaurants to succeed the new food culture.
