Tajima East Village
Our design for Tajima East Village is our interpretation of Tajima’s values: tradition and authenticity in a modern context. This was achieved this by fusing traditional Japanese elements with modern overtures. The wallpaper’s black background heightens the overlaid Japanese motif, while the bar and dining tables feature Carrara marble and blackened cedar interlocking in a repeating pattern inspired by classic Japanese woodworking techniques. Rounding the design out, the backlit soffit panel, features a Japanese saying “When food is good, it’s good, and it proves you are alive“.
