Creative voices further shape the narrative - from playful interpretations of “Fruition” to thoughtful perspectives on childhood, imagination, and learning.

Layered and poetic, this issue is a gentle reflection on creativity, connection, and the ever-evolving nature of growing up.

In the early 2000s, BBC Four quietly documented a new kind of spatial practice emerging from Tokyo. Part of a rare BBC Four episode exploring Japan’s design counterculture, documenting the rise of Wonderwall and the spatialisation of brand culture. 

Inside Wonderwall Inc., Masamichi Katayama speaks not about interiors — but about identity.

Retail becomes narrative. Objects become language. Space becomes brand.

Tokyo, at the time, operates ahead of definition. Not reacting — but setting terms.

Tucked within Tokyo, Awazu House [ @awazuhouse ] is an intimate exploration of light, structure, and everyday living. Designed in 1972 by Hiroshi Hara for graphic designer Kiyoshi Awazu, the home was conceived as both a residence and creative studio - where architecture becomes a framework for artistic life.

Defined by its layered composition and shifting volumes, the house unfolds through unexpected levels, openings, and moments of connection. Light filters through its structure in a way that feels both deliberate and organic, creating a dynamic relationship between interior and exterior, function and expression. It stands as an early and experimental reflection of Hara’s architectural language - playful yet deeply considered.

With special thanks to Awazu-san [ @ken_soul_ken ] for preserving and continuing the legacy of this remarkable home.

Hidden in Shizuoka, Japan, Bar CoMbLé is one of the rare interiors by Japanese designer Shiro Kuramata that still survives today.

Designed in 1988, during the final years of Kuramata’s career and at the height of Japan’s late bubble era, the bar reflects his signature approach to space - bold colour contrasts, translucent materials, and a sense of visual lightness that makes the interior feel almost immaterial.

Curved transparent ceiling elements hover above vivid red walls, while bright accents and acrylic details create a dreamlike environment that feels both futuristic and playful. Like many of Kuramata’s interiors, the space was conceived as a complete composition, where furniture, colour, light, and material work together as one unified design.

More than three decades later, the bar continues to operate under owner + bartender Masahiko Nakayama, who has focused on preserving the interior almost exactly as it was designed - one reason the bar remains one of the very few surviving Kuramata interiors still accessible to the public.

A preserved fragment of Kuramata’s radical vision of space.

Hidden in Shizuoka, Japan, Bar CoMbLé is one of the rare interiors by Japanese designer Shiro Kuramata that still survives today.

Designed in 1988, during the final years of Kuramata’s career and at the height of Japan’s late bubble era, the bar reflects his signature approach to space - bold colour contrasts, translucent materials, and a sense of visual lightness that makes the interior feel almost immaterial.

Curved transparent ceiling elements hover above vivid red walls, while bright accents and acrylic details create a dreamlike environment that feels both futuristic and playful. Like many of Kuramata’s interiors, the space was conceived as a complete composition, where furniture, colour, light, and material work together as one unified design.

More than three decades later, the bar continues to operate under owner + bartender Masahiko Nakayama, who has focused on preserving the interior almost exactly as it was designed - one reason the bar remains one of the very few surviving Kuramata interiors still accessible to the public.

A preserved fragment of Kuramata’s radical vision of space.
