Mook
The interior of this salon is made up of uneven oak pieces in the middle of the sawing process. The unevenness of the oak absorbs the light from the outside, giving it depth and allowing it to penetrate deep into the room. The interior also extends outwards, giving the impression of a cave, with the interior and exterior designed as one. The glass facade reflects the activity of the salon in the city, making the movement of people part of the design.
Mook Salon by Takeshi Okuwada has been highlighted as an exceptional example of architectural design by the A' Design Awards. Mook Salon received the Silver A' Design Award in Interior Space and Exhibition Design in 2021. The A' Interior Space, Retail and Exhibition Design Award is a highly prestigious international design competition which celebrates outstanding design of residential interiors, restaurants, hotels, offices, galleries, retail stores, showrooms, exhibition spaces and more.
