Decoration of a Japanese restaurant's walls with large-format, oriental-inspired murals. The dining room combines a large geisha face with bamboo canes, a wall with cherry blossom branches, a boat on the water and a snow-capped mountain, and pillars clad with branches and blossom. Unical Graphic handled the adaptation of each motif to its wall, the printing and the installation.

The challenge

The motifs had to fit walls and pillars of different sizes, with wall lights, skirting and timber wainscoting, without the composition looking cropped.

Our solution

Each motif was composed to the actual size of its wall, leaving breathing space around fittings and openings so the illustration sits naturally with the architecture. The white background is kept clean and the motifs focus on black ink, red and greys, in a brushstroke style reminiscent of Japanese painting. On the pillars, the branches rise vertically to follow the proportion of the element. Installation took place while the room was still being fitted out, before the furniture went in.
