DESIGN NAME: The Public Stand Roppongi
PRIMARY FUNCTION: Bar
INSPIRATION: Inspiration comes from own experience of the clients and designer; at the bar or club, you find a girl you want to talk to or dance with and try to figure out how to get close to her naturally and start conversation. The nervous feeling and fast heartbeats are the origin of the inspiration of this project. The light and the sounds is what we feel like when we found someone to love. The layout and design refers to what would have helped us or encourage us in the past.
UNIQUE PROPERTIES / PROJECT DESCRIPTION: This is a standing bar where young people come for encounters. The underground location makes you feel like you are going into secret club, and the colored lighting throughout the space pumps up your heartbeat more with the graffiti. As the purpose of the bar is to connect people, we tried to design organic, circular shapes. The big standing table at the end of the bar is ameba-like shape, and the shape helps customers to get closer with other people without making them feel uncomfortable.
