Research notes

The Arita showroom sets porcelain objects within a sequence of rooms rather than treating them as isolated merchandise.

Dinesen credits Teruhiro Yanagihara Studio and identifies Douglas Natural flooring. Its account also describes Douglas wood in bespoke counters, cabinets, wall linings and furniture.

The recurring timber connects display and domestic use, while ceramic and brick surfaces refer to the setting’s production culture. The floor specification should not automatically be assigned to every bespoke timber component: these are separate fabricated elements.

What the sources do not establish
  • A component-by-component timber specification is not provided.
