HIP Dining Japan showcases the most contemporary and hip restaurant designs in Japan. Reinterpreting the traditional spatial requirements of the Japanese dining space, the designers have created new ways to address these constraints as features. Often injected with a twist, some of the featured projects expound the private dining concepts as fantasy structures integrated into the dinning space, to create a sensational experience for the guests. Other mastered the art of applying uber modern lighting in contrast to their Zen design sensibility, to enhance the encounter and dramatize the ambience.
