This site is made by Masamichi Katayama and is an interior designing firm that shows off their brilliance. There are portfolios that cover commercial spaces like retail spaces, restaurant and bars and office showrooms. Each design is crisp and clean and very contemporary. The main page is very creative in its design. At the top there are categories from news to jobs and years that you can view the bottom part by.
The main part is this extraordinarily designed showcase of all these places, which are mostly located in New York, Paris and Japan. When scrolled across the images transform by following the pointer the parts are twisted and enlarged. While this is happening there is the sound of little driplets’ of water when ever crossing to the next image. There is five across and thirty-five down if you view all of the sites on one page. When you click on a cube it tells you about the location and gives other addresses and there are pictures that download to the right.
The images are impressive and designs are very stylish. I can tell these places are for the rich and famous. The places are linear and complex with quality furniture. The lighting is very important and placement of furniture. Many places use glass and brick as dividers.
One of my favorites is A Bathing Ape Pirate Store in Nagano because it has a sense of humor. The clothes are displayed in treasure trunks and the walls look like you’re in the belly of a ship. The outside is a neon blue wall that looks like wood and water. I also enjoy the store The Ice Cream Store in Hong Kong because it is very atmospheric. The stairs to go up have little lights on the steps and walls and on the ceiling. When upstairs the whole room is covered in planet textures. The seats look like ice cream sandwiches and the down stairs looks like an ice cream shop but they sell clothing. It has a child like appearance and I’m sure the price tag differs.
