The Chakai by Studio Kaz Wins Silver in A' Installation Design Awards

Innovative Tea Ceremony Room Design Recognized for Excellence in Interactive and Experiential Installation

COMO, CO, ITALY, July 4, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- The A' Design Award, a highly respected and well-recognized award in the field of installation design, has recently announced Studio Kaz as a winner of the Silver A' Design Award for their exceptional work, "The Chakai," in the Installation Design category. This prestigious recognition highlights the significance of "The Chakai" within the installation industry and design community, acknowledging its outstanding design excellence.

The Silver A' Installation Design Award for "The Chakai" showcases the relevance of this innovative design to current trends and needs within the installation industry. By incorporating interactive elements, sustainable materials, and a deep understanding of the tea ceremony's essence, "The Chakai" aligns with and advances installation design standards and practices. This recognition underscores the practical benefits of the design for users, the industry, and other stakeholders, emphasizing its utility and innovation.

"The Chakai" stands out for its unique use of Tango Chirimen fabric, soaked in images projected by projection mapping, as a psychological barrier. The extremely thin fabric sways with the slightest air movement, and sensors embedded in the fabric react interactively to the movement. The floor, made of an original material called "IGUSA-faced plywood," incorporates rush grass that would have been discarded due to its length. These distinctive features showcase the design's functionality, aesthetics, and innovative aspects.

This recognition serves as motivation for Studio Kaz to continue striving for excellence and innovation in future projects. The Silver A' Installation Design Award for "The Chakai" has the potential to inspire further exploration and development of interactive and experiential installations that blend traditional elements with modern technology. Studio Kaz remains committed to pushing the boundaries of design while maintaining a deep respect for cultural traditions.
