Project: Japanese Restaurant—”AKATSUKI”
Kumiko Pattern: Abstract
Concept
An abstract Art Kumiko installation was created for the backdrop of a restaurant counter.
Based on “Renbu,” one of SHION Kumiko’s signature designs, the composition introduces variations in pattern scale,
placement, and negative space to create a more dynamic rhythm.
Hinoki, walnut, and black cherry.
The natural tones of these three woods are brought together to express the gentle movement of ripples spreading
across the surface of water through a variety of Kumiko patterns.
Extending across a counter more than nine meters wide,
the installation brings a flowing rhythm and a distinctive presence to the space.
