Takt Project has created a design studio satellite lab in Japan to spark the imagination.

The project is located in Sendai, and is the satellite lab of Tokyo-based design studio Takt Project. It is set out not for meetings or office work, but rather as a space dedicated to creating and thinking.

The design is intended to spark the imagination, much in the way that time spent similarly in childhood saw faces emerge from staring at clouds, or patterns from stains in the ceiling.

With this in mind, seemingly bare objects are arranged in the space alongside materials and construction methods native to the region where the lab is located, to create contrast and provide a canvas from which to develop thoughts, ideas and concepts.

This project has been longlisted in the small workspace interiors category of Dezeen Awards 2022.
