Facet Studio have designed the interior of a vintage shop in Osaka. The vintage shop, called Habitat Antique, has also served as the inspiration for the interior design which incorporate the spirit of time passing and “antiques” into the development and the philosophy of the design. Using cedarwood, rice paper and linen, Facet Studio also come up with something of very Japanese origin. Looking inside one can directly see that the most material is of wood and there is little hint of metal, concrete, or any electronic devices, thus emphasizing the traditional value implied within. A note from the designer mentioned that the main material, timber, is a living material meaning that section of this material records the passing of time in the form of growth rings. These sections of timber were layered to fully extract the charm of this material that results in “pattern of time”.
