J-POP Cafe Odaiba - FANTASTIC DESIGN WORKS (Katsunori Suzuki) (2002)
“Restaurant situated in Sega’s Tokyo Joypolis, this cafe features a futuristic, organic design composed of solid plaster & plastic. The chairs, tables, and walls all seem to meld together into a color-shifting ‘jelly bean gloop’. The approach from the outside deck is a long tunnel leading into the center of the space.”

Punch the Minimalism!! – Get out of the Minimal Mode Part 003: Cyber
コンピューターグラフィックスによるバーチャルな世界をファッションに投影したかのような、フューチャリスティックなテーストがポイント。白やシルバー、蛍光色などポップな色つかいとハイテック素材は欠かせない。
Computer graphics are inspiring fashion for the virtual world; futurism is “in”. White and silver with pops of fluorescent color and high tech materials are indispensable.

I was pleased to find nice showcase a few of the brands that composed Japan’s cyberpunk scene in the late 90′s. Masahiro Saito’s brand Fötus got the most coverage here– and rightly so. Japan’s #1 cyberpunk brand gave British import Cyberdog a run for it’s money and was known for its intense CG digital prints and gestating fetus logo. The brand itself was founded in ‘96 and opened its first Tokyo store in ‘97, so it was still fairly young when this piece was published.

As a kid I loved Sci-Fi.
Inspired by the art of Chris Foss and the great Sci-Fi fonts of my youth - Countdown, Data 70, Rollerball. I have created fragmented letterforms, in one case and two styles - Positive and Negative. This is NEGATIVE.
