Yorunoma bar

Folding, pasting and sticking paper together with the local residents, Naoya Matsumoto Design converted a little space into a cave-like bar in Osaka.

The young designers of the Japanese studio Naoya Matsumoto Design cooperate to make a place where people get together in Abeno (near Tennoji), Osaka.
There used to be a row house at a back alley in a part of Abeno and now it has been remodeled into a gallery space called Abenoma.
Naoya Matsumoto Design produced a self-build space by using an uncommon but simple material “tracing paper” with local residents. This huge space made by paper is like a secret base and turns into a bar at night.
