内容简介
Hip Dining Japan showcases the most contemporary and hip restaurant designs in Japan. Reinterpreting the traditional spatial requirements of the Japanese dining space, the designers have created new ways to address these constraints as features. Often injected with a twist, some of the featured projects expound the private dining concept as fantasy structures integrated into the dining space, to create a sensational experience for the guests. Others mastered the art of applying fiber modern lighting in contrast to their Zen design sensibil-ity, to enhance the encounter and dramatize the ambience.
Creating extraordinary interior expressions that are unique to the dining scene in Japan, the restaurants fea-tured reflect a hip dining experience that is visually psychedelic and stylistically flamboyant. Breaking away from the stereotypical conventions of Japanese rural styles of Inns and Ryokans, the contemporary Japanese restaurant continues to influence cross-cultural trends, by striking out to redefine what it is to be hip and funky with a cutting-edge perspective that is Japanese in it roots, without compromising its position as an in-ternational trendsetter.
