OPERA FLR PLN.jpg

Our design concept for this hand-roll bar was heavily inspired by the urban Japanese fish markets, an iconic part of any coastal village in the country. A special and unique atmosphere where city-life is humbled by the treasures of the sea.

From the floor tiles, to the wooden walls, to the central ceiling resembling the movements of the Koi fish, we wanted to recreate the sensory and cultural experience of the Japanese fish markets.
