The handle that could win the Compasso d'Oro
How can design speak of care? This handle goes beyond its primary function and rediscovers the symbolic value of design.
A ramen bar in Tokyo near the Olympic park, between tradition and minimal space. This is the story of “Chanpon”, which has such structured interiors. Eaves, shade and the partition wall are made of colored polycarbonate resin, which give an impression of lightness. The reinforced concrete structure is exposed and electrical wiring, connections between the tiles and cables are exposed. Chanpon is a noodle bar near the Kamazawa Olympic park. Final relization results in a very refined and studied simplicity.
