JARKEN gain a Shortlist spot in the International Design & Architecture Awards 2015 Retail Space category. The brief was to design a pop-up project that is part cafe and part installation art, fusing design and artisanship in fun and playful ways, to commemorate a Thailand interior magazine’s tenth anniversary. The design concept is based on an idea to create exceptional exhibiting space for people to hang-out and enjoy visual art and objects in an atmosphere where they could chill out.
This limited area dedicated for 60 people welcomes guests and their friends to share gourmet cuisines and drinks. We create the pop-up café through the concept of Installation Art “Seamless Insertion” illustrating ambiances of naughty, fun, bright, exotic, and restfully comfortable. The idea was to blend art to and within living space. Seamless Insertion was the design platforms that connects flows of art in the same way that life should flow freely within living space. The areas are seamlessly separated in to 9 zones, each of which distinctly illustrate decoration and pattern of designs reflecting artisan living with its own interpretation through an eye of our designer. Our layout plan illustrated a golden section or “phi” ratio, employed and represented area’s connectivity. The solution is a common mathematical ratio found in nature applied to create pleasing, natural looking compositions in the design.
