Kama-Asa Shop

Kama-Asa Shop is a retail interior design for a store selling kitchen utensils in Tokyo. The shop is based on the belief that good tools are made for a good reason, so the space presents the skills of the craftsmen who make the tools on display. To reflect that idea, the interior shows the skills of building craftsmen. Rebar, a ribbed steel bar normally hidden inside walls, becomes the main design element. Handrails and furniture are made of rebar. The forms are simple, yet the work still requires careful craftsmanship.

Wuhan UI Sales Center

Yu Studio Sales Center Interior Wednesday, 21 February 2024

Wuhan UI

Wuhan UI is a sales center interior inspired by the water culture of Wuhan. Sound and space form the framework of the design concept. Original music was composed for the interior, and the sound tracks are mixed invisibly through the rooms, so visitors move as if within a sound field. A spiral staircase leads toward the sound source on the second floor, so the route is guided by hearing as well as by sight. Art installations combine stairs, a bronze mirror and a hanging stone. Materials include artistic lacquer, decorative brick and artificial stone with wood grains.
