An old hotel was renovated and reopened as CLASKA in Meguro, Tokyo September 2003.For the project, we were approached to design 3 rooms for long-term guests. Part of the project brief was to include in each room an AIBO, a pet robot produced by Sony, and artwork by Japanese contemporary artists. The first step in the design process was to focus on all necessary items in the room including artwork, AIBO, room furniture and guest’s belongings. Since they are of all different sizes and shapes, we proposed to use a piece of thin wall with some laser cut holes as a TEMPLATE to display these items. This gives the room its function and design concept.
