Ito-Biyori

ninkipen! chosen a neutral color palette to design the interior of this café in Osaka, which is set around a real tree planted at the center of the space.

The main idea of this café in Osaka, designed by ninkipen!, was to make the atmosphere harmonizing with the organic foods served inside.

ninkipen! transformed the parking lot in front of the cafe into a garden with soil and several kinds of trees and planted a Jabuticab tree inside. The tree becomes the focal point of the entire space, amplified by the reflectionin the round mirror on the wall and echoed by the natural colors chosen for the furnishings.
