Sushi Be is a ‘furniture to ceiling’ project, designed as a whole. The main concept was to give dynamism and personality to a static and degraded space, which fell into neglect over the years. The continuity of materials, the connectivity between different spaces and the design of the furniture, expressly imagined for this project, are the elements that makes Sushi Be a unique and revolutionary project in a traditional area such as the one of Biella, Italy.
To combine a unique design with a low budget, we applied the Generative Design technique, using parametric 3D modeling tools in order to create a ceiling that could perfectly fit in place of the pre-existing vaulted ceiling. High-quality materials - such as teak wood used in furniture - gave the ultimate touch of personality to this space.
The bending surfaces in Sushi Be offer a soft visual effect, varying the perception of the ceiling from different points of view, including indoor and outdoor standpoints. This everchanging shape pulls the attention of the observer, not only hiding lights and networks but also improving the acoustic comfort.
