A New Cultural Destination in Hollywood: "Prototyping in Tokyo" Exhibit Opens at our website Los Angeles
Get ready for an exciting cultural experience as our website Los Angeles, a new cultural destination in the heart of Hollywood, prepares to open its doors on the 5th floor in September. Located at 6801 Hollywood Blvd., Los Angeles, CA 90028, this landmark venue is situated at the iconic Hollywood & Highland, the entertainment capital of the world, and offers convenient underground parking.
The 5-floor venue, in addition to the 2-floor gallery and shop, includes a Japanese restaurant, a relaxing library, and an event venue with spectacular views of Hollywood and Downtown Los Angeles. The innovative Japanese restaurant, INN ANN, is set to serve innovative Japanese cuisine, adding another layer to the cultural immersion.
The highlight of this new destination is the "Prototyping in Tokyo: A Visual Story of Design-Led Innovation" exhibit. This exhibit offers visitors a chance to explore the visual and interactive aspects of design innovation emerging from Tokyo. It showcases Tokyo’s approach to prototyping and design, demonstrating how creativity and technology merge in design-led innovation.
The project, headed by Kenya Hara as Chief Creative Director, seeks to nurture a deeper understanding and appreciation of Japan in the international community. Ryu Kosaka, an international award-winning Japanese designer, is responsible for the design of the 5-floor venue, featuring soothing Earth tones and natural woods. Kosaka's work includes notable projects like the Main Dining room of Mandarin Oriental Tokyo and the W Guangzhou FEI Ultra Lounge in China.
