kengo kuma adorns yakitori bar with an assortment of colored cables
In kichijoji, a suburban town outside of tokyo, kengo kuma and associates have completed a restaurant and bar adorned with a variety of colored cables.
The small venue is located on harmonica Yokochi, a by-street that still retains the atmosphere of black-market stalls popular during the post-world war II period.
The project predominantly uses recycled materials, including ethernet cables, to give the restaurant its distinctive textured appearance. meanwhile, left-over melted acrylic byproducts have been used to furnish the bar, allowing the form of the space to become invisible with stools and tables appearing to float independently. opposite the bar, a large wall painting by Teruhiko Yumura complements the scheme with his punk manga motifs serving as the backdrop.
