For the reception counter backdrop at the Usuki Port Ferry Terminal, Parallel-split bamboo was selected as the decorative material. The bamboo’s natural, finely grained vertical lines bring a refined rhythm and a sense of warmth to the entire space.

Warm-toned indirect lighting has been integrated behind the counter, carefully designed to highlight the bamboo’s texture and subtle play of light and shadow. Bamboo interacts beautifully with light—especially warm hues—creating a calm and welcoming atmosphere with a soft, natural glow.

In this entrance area that greets visitors, the gentle character of natural materials and the clarity of contemporary design come together in perfect harmony.
