Japanese design studio Keiji Ashizawa Design has finished the Mariha showroom which is a minimal design and an office as well. It is a jewelry and fashion brand found in Tokyo defined by neutral tones paired with natural materials. The firm aims to create a space that can serve both functions while bringing forth the same comforting feeling of a 'warm home.'
The founder of the studio Keiji Ashizawa speaks to Dezeen about the showroom, noting "The space was crafted to exude the inviting warmth of a private salon, creating a home-like ambience to welcome cherished guests. The intimate ambience is thoughtfully crafted through a cohesive design approach, combining meticulous finishing, furniture placement, and refined styling."
