Project: Genzo
Genzo is a story of contrast and harmony, the juxtaposition of old and new. Drawing inspiration from the interplay between tradition and counterculture in Japan, Genzo explores the dynamic beauty of these two cultures coexisting.
The Japanese Izakaya concept is an uber slick, experiential destination inspired by the dichotomy between traditional Japanese traditions and modern counter culture, with its vibrant iterations of self expression in fashion art and design. With sexy booth or flirty bar seating, extensive wine, cocktails and a Sake library, it is an other-worldly experience.
