Tokyo Design Utopia
Restaurant Inua in Tokyo with former noma chef, Thomas Frebel at the helm, is a partnership with noma’s Rene Redzepi and Japan’s Kadokawa Corporation. Tasked with creating a clear link to Japan as well as referencing noma’s Nordic heritage, OEO Studio have devised a design concept for the new 700m2 restaurant that fuses Japanese and Nordic sensibilities, to bring about a refined blend of craftsmanship, materiality and architecture. OEO Studio has worked with local materials as well as Japanese-inspired details interpreted with a Nordic twist in novel and unexpected ways. Throughout the restaurant, OEO Studio has utilized superior materials, including high-quality wooden planks from Dinesen for the flooring in the main dining room, alongside local ash, Japanese bricks from Kunishiro, Hinoki Cypress and metalwork in brass, copper and hot-rolled steel. Paying careful attention to the qualities of the space, OEO Studio has balanced the bustle of a busy restaurant, kitchen and bar with a bespoke acoustic ceiling using exquisite Nishijin fabric from Japanese textile maker, and long-time OEO Studio collaborator, HOSOO. Using locally sourced Uji clay and wood, bespoke artworks have been introduced across the restaurant and bar to elevate and enhance the dining experience. Signature to the approach at OEO Studio, Inua features the highest level of bespoke design. From the functional wardrobes in the welcome area to the waiter stations in the restaurant, every detail has been carefully considered and executed. The restaurant and bar design, which can seat 60, comprises a mix of dining-height and high counter seating offering a range of views out across the city skyline. In the restaurant, OEO Studio designed the new Jari dining table series with table tops resembling pebbles softly shaped by water and nature over time. In the private dining room, the Jari dining chair, also designed by OEO Studio, offers the utmost level of comfort. The Jari chair and table series are the latest pieces of furniture designed by OEO Studio with Danish brand Brdr. Krüger. Restaurant Inua opened it’s doors to the public on 29 June 2018. In December 2019, Inua received two Michelin stars. https://www.oeostudio.com/
