To divide the various relaxing zones within the lounge we have used ʻfin screensʼ which allow clear views out to the runway when looking straight through, but when viewed obliquely from the side, form light dividing screens. On one side of the fin we have printed a traditional bamboo scene and on the other side contemporary ʻanimeʼ images by Japanʼs leading animator Koji Morimoto who is credited for the Animatrix movie. On arriving in the lounge one experiences the 'traditional' first. On walking toward the kitchen counter though and looking back one is confronted with the 'future'. Japan has a culture of many incongruous ambiguities and we wanted to reflect this within the lounge.
