The two wooden structures were designed to take advantage of the double-height ceiling on the front and back of the venue. The cylindrical design, at the back, is suspended above the restaurant’s main teppanyaki table, where the food is cooked on iron plates in front of the guests, and hides the necessary extraction hood, while its rectilinear counterpart is the focal point of the shop in the front. Free-standing wooden shelving that the Studio also designed is used to separate the shopping area from the sushi bar that runs alongside it, while a wall of bas-relief geometric forms inspired from Kanji characters (a system of Japanese writing using Chinese characters) that runs the length of the space creates a decorative backdrop.

Despite the monochromatic black colour palette, the restaurant, which also includes a terrace with additional teppanyaki tables and a private dining room, enjoys plenty of daylight, courtesy of the floor-to-ceiling glazing, while come night time concealed lighting creates a more intimate ambience. Day or night, the masterfully illuminated suspended structures remain the focal points of this innovatively sophisticated venue.
