Design studio NKDW, led by interior designer Nattapon Klinsuwan, has completed an omakase room in Bangkok, Thailand. The room's defining feature is an arrangement of wooden panels, positioned at various angles, suspended from the ceiling, providing a dynamic visual experience.
Inspired by the restaurant's name, Washou, which translates to "Japanese smile," Klinsuwan explored festive traditions in Japan that embody joy and celebration. One festival that particularly captured his interest is Tanabata, a summer holiday celebrated on July 7th. During this event, people write their wishes on strips of paper called Tanzaku and hang them on bamboo branches.
Designer reinterprets this tradition by replacing the traditional Tanzaku with laminated wooden pieces measuring 40 x 120 cm, suspended from the ceiling throughout the space. This approach not only pays homage to the Tanabata festival but also creates a warm and inviting atmosphere for diners.
The integration of design elements in this space transforms the room into a sanctuary space where guests can enjoy a harmonious dining experience, embracing the cultural richness of Japan while indulging in expertly crafted omakase offerings. It’s a space that celebrates the artistry of design and the beauty of tradition, inviting diners to revel in the essence of Japanese hospitality.
