Mad Monk

Bar for Himawari Design

The designer was in charge from design to construction. By making it a glossy black wall, it reflects the sight and gives out mysterious continuity. The timeless atmosphere is created by giving a sense of tension to the luxury sofa and chandelier synchronized with the sharp shelves. There is no metal joint. Just bottles that are stuck in the shelves. Lighting fixtures are embedded in the shelves (thickness 18mm) to light from below. There are many beautiful things and fun things around us. Ingenuity is the key. The Japanese Sake bottles support the world's liquors as shelf structure.
