The Project

Inspired by Japanese indigo dye, or Aizome, the space features earthy tones of deep blue. The natural process of extracting the dye from the indigo plant results in a range of colors that seem to shift subtly in the light, revealing layers of depth and complexity. This beauty is not only in its visual appeal but also in its connection to Japanese craftsmanship and tradition. The two main walls of the space are decorated with fabric panels that allude to the Japanese dyeing technique of Shibori. The panels feature a trompe l'oeil effect, creating the illusion of expanded boundaries that visually open up the narrow dining room, offering guests a sense of space and a view that extends beyond the walls.
