On a street corner



Yoshihiko Mamiya(INFIX Design Inc,).the leading interior designer who always grasp the trend and making the new epoch in Japanese Interior design scene. His designed spaces are the category of its own and always give out the peculiar atmosphere not only in the space its own but also in the periphery around it. The shops or restaurants he designed always become to be recognized as the landmark and the cultural symbol of its town, and always the new prosper street would appeared after it. It's is because his design work is not only be strongly original one,but also he is gifted with intuitively talent to find out the potential energy of its street and he well reflect it to his design work.


The French-Japanese restaurant HIGASHI designed by Mr.Mamiya is located in the office street of mid-Osaka city.The street was once only a boring forest of old business offices,but after the HIGASHI restaurant have opened, the street became much enlivened with many of new shops and new visitors,and everyone recognized the restaurant as the landmark of its town.


In constant to the conservative-like facade which is acclimated to the office street, inside is well decollated in modern like art-deco style. Especially the unique pendant lights,the curved American Cherry veneered wall,the chic lightings.....any items are produced to make a reproduction of modernism in Japanese 1970's with Mr.Mamiya's contemporary sensibility is well combined. However, that interior makes us dear the old good days,but we never recognized it as an old-fashioned. Actually this is the Magic of Mr.Mamiya's design works, and that the reason why HIGASHI move both heart of old ages who know the good old days and young ages who are interesting to the newness.
