Ryuji Kojo and Toshihiro Obata's Sushi Koji Restaurant Recognized for Excellence in Interior Design by Prestigious A' Design Awards

COMO, CO, ITALY, November 21, 2024 /EINPresswire / -- The A' Design Award, a highly prestigious award in the field of interior design, has announced Sushi Koji by Ryuji Kojo and Toshihiro Obata as the Bronze winner in the Interior Space and exhibition Design category. This recognition highlights the significance of the A' Interior Design Awards within the interior design industry, positioning it as a highly respected and well-recognized accolade that celebrates outstanding achievements in design.

The A' Interior Space, Retail and Exhibition Design Award is particularly relevant to the interior design industry and its stakeholders, as it showcases designs that align with current trends, advance industry standards, and provide practical benefits to users. By recognizing projects like Sushi Koji, the award not only celebrates the designers' achievements but also inspires innovation and pushes the boundaries of what is possible in interior design.

Sushi Koji stands out in the market for its thoughtful use of natural materials and handcrafted elements. The 8-seat counter, made of ginkgo wood with smooth, custom-cut edges, allows guests to enjoy sushi while watching the chef's work. Scrap wood from the counter was repurposed for the sushi board and cutting board, while chairs made of local cypress were designed to highlight the wood's grain. The walls, covered in original handmade Washi paper with organic patterns created by pouring Gofun during the papermaking process, contribute to the restaurant's unique atmosphere.

The recognition of Sushi Koji by the A' Interior Design Awards serves as motivation for Ryuji Kojo and Toshihiro Obata to continue striving for excellence and innovation in their future projects. This achievement may inspire the team to further explore the use of natural materials, sustainable practices, and handcrafted elements in their designs, fostering a deeper appreciation for the artisanal approach to interior design.
