SHUN SHOKU LOUNGE BY KENGO KUMA & ASSOCIATES
Located in a prime
location right outside Osaka Station, “Shun Shoku Lounge” is part café, part
information kiosk.
Layered configuration has also been designed
for V&A at Dundee. This lounge is in a way
like a nesting inside V&A. The Kengo Kuma-desinged interior features a
topographical landscape made from layered natural wooden sheets.
Various kinds of food-related items are laid
out on this wooden ground. We expected that the chemistry would be just right
for eating and the wooden stratum.
Much of the
furniture serves as a showcase to display seasonal foods that rotate in and out
on a monthly basis. Over on the café customers can order smoothies and lunch
boxes made from the seasonal ingredients.
The owners hope that
the shop will help disperse information about Osaka’s food and dining culture, while also
bridging a gap between restaurants and farmers.
