patterned tiles extend from curved walls to furniture in layered retail exhibition booth

Accessible from three sides, the booth is shaped by approach and visibility rather than a single frontal orientation. The primary entry is marked by an angled portal set back from the site edge, establishing a layered visual field rather than an immediate overview. From this offset threshold, overlapping planes of tiles, textures, and color unfold gradually, encouraging movement through depth rather than direct access.

Although today it is most commonly associated with road paving, its essential purpose remains the act of binding. Drawing from this origin, the collection approaches asphalt as a mediating material that links heterogeneous components. References include its early use in Japan during the Jomon period, when it bonded wooden shafts to stone arrowheads.
