■ Christmas decorations

　

[Interior decoration]

A 4m-tall Christmas tree made from real fir will welcome you in the courtyard on the 4th floor. The tree is decorated with ornaments made from recycled paper and dried flowers that have been used in previous decorations, creating an environmentally conscious design. In addition, the dry landscape garden on the same floor will be illuminated with botanical lights that generate electricity using the natural energy emitted by plants, creating a space enveloped in a fantastical light. Through these decorations, you can experience the power of nature.

A sustainable tree made from recycled construction waste will be set up at "MAENIWA" on the first floor. The tree will also feature ornaments made from recycled materials by the "By-Products Store" project, which provides new value to by-products from artists' studios.

Period: November 17th (Sun) to December 25th (Mon)

[GALLERY DECORATION]

The "GALLERY" on the 4th floor will host a special exhibition, "5YEARS 5GOOD," to commemorate the 5th anniversary of the store's opening.

The exhibition will look back on the five years of efforts under the concept of "5GOOD" - good for the body, mind, community, society and planet - and introduce the friends they met along the way who are connected by their "sustainability." Panel displays and collaborative decorations will deliver a message to visitors about a sustainable society.

The decoration was handled by "Balflor", with whom the cafe has collaborated on many occasions since the cafe's opening. In the center, an arch of air plants and beautiful plants is set up, creating a space that stimulates the senses with natural art. "Atelier Shimura" will be exhibiting plant-dyed fabrics made from cacao husk (the skin of the cacao bean), and you can enjoy a special installation that allows you to experience the richness of nature through your eyes and touch.
