We sought to fill the entire space with the energy resonating from the intensity of the flame and diverse colors of the wine. The ceiling plane reveals a multilayered body of flame energy by combining red latticework conveying the intensity of the steeply spiraling flame as well as red plates coated with a special finish representing the strong flickering of the flame. For the floor, our idea was to color it as though we were combining the colors of the flame and wines.
Thus, we created a floor with a glossy transparent resin colored in a gradation of red, orange, yellow, and purple. The color of the ceiling and floor resonate with each other, and the specially produced exclusive dining ware gives the space a beautiful glimmer.
The overall mutually reflective view produces intricate and constantly evolving expressions depending on the position and angle of the diners’ line of sight.
Through the lattice and plate ensemble’s lively energy, we were able to create a myriad of expressions and realize a spatial experience infused within the deep colors of the flame and wines.
Design Firm : Moriyuki Ochiai Architects Moriyuki Ochiai, born in Tokyo, Japan is an architect and designer. He established his own studio, Moriyuki Ochiai Architects that is active in architectural, interior, furniture,landscape and industrial design. The sources of our inspirations come from being captivated by the vivacious and lively beauty of nature or life. We can also feel the influence coming from the delicate sensitivity responding to the unique Japanese nature, which can be found in Japanese temples and gardens. We wish to continue creating works that fulfill people’s dreams, become the energy for their lives, and then move on to a deeper dimension that exceeds life itself.
