Stores In Tokyo Are Turning Into Caves

Cave Model

Kimihiko Okada designed the interiors of several stores from Tokyo that now look like caves. He used a giant sheet of metal with a thickness of just a few millimeters to mold it into stalactite shapes.

The Diesel store from Aoyama is the ground floor for the exhibit, which is called Another Geography and is on the view until May 11th. If you would like to go back in time and see what was in the home of a Neanderthal, or you simply happen to be a geologist and find this decoration concept interesting, it just might be worth a visit.

Office Space In Nendo’s Vision

Office By Nendo

The Japanese guys from Nendo have designed an office space near Meguro river in Tokyo and they made something really innovative with it. The walls were cut away almost down to the floor and now the employees can walk easier through the office and that makes me wonder what will happen with their privacy, but why would they need it while working?

The design was inspired from waves and from clothes because it looks like a sag clothing held between your arms. We were talking about some privacy, but I think that it’s available only for the “big chiefs” and it consists of a plastic material which is sound-proof. I guess it will be nice to work in this office.
