Recently, the number of Japanese ramen shops in Vietnam has increased. The biggest design point is that the main target is young Vietnamese people. Since Vietnam has a cafe culture, I wanted to design a stylish and cute atmosphere.

Because they are a travel agency, we wanted to create a travel atmosphere. The location is close to the airport, so we also prepared a café space where you can communicate while watching the planes take off and land through the window. We believe that travel is the best time to create emotions and memories.

First of all, we wanted to incorporate soft, free-form curves into the design, given the food ingredient “ramen” and the compartment shape being a semi-circle. Then, with a particular playful intent, I tried to create a design that would make people unintentionally want to “Snap!” and take a photo of it. The spherical shape of the pillar rolls is r...

The concept is “an old Northern European house”.The gentle texture of the wood grain creates femininity. In addition, the warmth of the natural materials also gives a sense of loveliness. The boards made of natural materials deteriorate over time and change into a new charm with the image of “an old Japanese-style house”.

[HACHIBAN RAMEN] is a strategy that targets Vietnamese families and young people. That's why they don't put Japanese or Westerners as our target customers. They have that strategy, but since they have only two stores, Vietnamese people are not aware of it yet. That's why I completely ignored "Japanese HACHIBAN RAMEN" and designed it. Especially reg...
