Our metallic leaf wallpaper is installed at many restaurants and hotels, but it is not limited to use at large facilities. This time, we will introduce a private residence in Hiroshima city. It is an example that was taken in the full renovation of a wooden two-story house of 50 years old. “House in Koi” had four rooms at the second floor and the rooms were reduced to the two rooms for three people. Then, the open ceiling space was created. The side of the opening was decorated with metallic leaf wallpaper called “Bark”. In addition, metallic leaf wallpaper was also installed on the side of the kitchen directly below the opening. This was the same copper leaf, but with a different design. “In view of the compatibility with the teak on the floor, we use copper leaf this time, and the opening is well shaded because the sunlight shines. The kitchen part has a random design and does not become too Japanese look”. It is laminated so that it is safe to get wet with water,” says architect Hayato Komatsu. Mr. Komatsu also talked about it as follows. “It is surprising that it is so easy to use foils which cost and take time and effort, and it is possible to put it not only on the walls but also on furniture. I feel the new possibilities of design.” A rich living space brought about by metallic leaf wallpaper. This is one of the great successes.
