Interior design Claesson Koivisto Rune
Wooden built-ins, dining tables, and stools were produced for K5 by local craftsmen, while walls and ceilings were painted using traditional Japanese techniques. And yet despite its homegrown allure, the hotel still manages to exhibit a Scandinavian flare thanks to Swedish designer Ola Rune and the fact that many items were custom designed by Claesson Koivisto Rune.
Architecture Claesson Koivisto Rune
Claesson Koivisto Rune renovated and designed the structure that houses K5, fully respecting its original look and features. A big challenge—brilliantly overcome—was transforming the parking structure behind the building into a positive. Colored, patterned glass on the hotel’s windows capture external lights in a way that produces a mesmerizing and amorphous interior glow.
Originals Akihiro Matsui, Takahiro Homma and Yuta Oka
Architecture
Some things are just meant to be. Mårten Claesson, Eero Koivisto, and Ola Rune started an architecture and design firm while still in college and two decades down the road, they haven’t looked back.
