ts 120711 18 940x744 CLOUD WOODEN STICKS : CEILING INSPIRATION

 

Here is an interesting ceiling design you could get inspiration from especially when you are going to design a dining area or a restaurant. Here is a ceiling design made at Tsujita Restaurant in Los Angeles, California by a Japanese designer named, Takeshi Sano. The design was to get an image of formation of clouds using 25000 pieces of wooden sticks.

Description from the designer:

I put image of clouds for the ceiling detail. There is IZUMO shrine, one of the most important shrine in Shimane Japan. The clouds we can see there, has beauty but mysterious image. I wanted to show those images on this design. I put 25000 of wooden sticks, which was shaped like drum stick on the ceiling.

In order to increase a reality of clouds, I calculate the focal length between eye line and wooden sticks and use that length for the stick length. Also I made difference on the distance between stick each other so that to make a stereoscopic effect to wooden cloud. Not only for this project. I’m always challenging to create a space that coexist art and interior. At the same time, I’d like people to feel the delicate of beauty, which Japanese have, and Japanese atmosphere when they visit here so that they will think that they want to visit Japan. I’d like to make this restaurant as one of an element for Japanese reconstruction.
