UME SERIES
Client: DJ Chigashi Nishiwaki, Tree Club, Tsuruga, Japan.
Description: Client wanted some designs for a recently opened night club that plays a mix of traditional jazz and contemporary music, live music and resident and guest dj's. The club has a traditional Japanese restaurant attached to it. The designs had to mix traditional Japanese imagery with a really fresh contemporary look. The ume tree (plum tree) which symbolizes the beauty and ephemerality of nature) and a tiger (which represents the virtue of courage, as well as revision, improvement & change) were used as repeating motifs throughout the designs.
This spawned a whole range of furniture (not all pictured here) - two tri-fold screens, an illuminated coffee table and a large incandescent wall hanging.
