The concept for this vegan ramen shop in Warsaw, conceived by Frejda & Gratkowski Architekci, started from a long bar with a place for customers as a reference to typical Japanese bars and a place to display products. Inspired by bamboo forests and the character of Japanese cities, they created an abstract space. It is full of vertical poles located between the ceilings. These vertical elements cross the levitating shelves placed at different heights. Polish architects also referred to the Japanese raw design, using a multitude of almost identical elements to create a complex whole. All this was created by the use of very simple means and materials. The structure of “levitating shelves” serves as a place to eat as well as a display area.

 

Its layout is a reference to the planes of the premises, it separates the kitchen from the dining room and divides it into smaller cozy spaces, encouraging guests to meander between them. The large height of the room was fully utilized to place the towering shelves that are attached to the densely spaced white steel poles, creating the atmosphere of a bamboo forest. The shelves are made of transparent lacquer laminated plywood, fixed to a minimum of three poles each. An exception are the ones that are attached to the wall. The poles are spread between the ceiling and the floor in a manner resembling construction shores temporarily supporting a building. The floor is covered with ceramic tiles.
