We are huge fans of design and personally I am a bigger fan of Masamichi Katayama’s design firm Wonderwall Inc. Established in 2000 Wonderwall has become best known for it’s retail design. Here are some of my favorites…

“Katayama’s interest in design has always been broad, respecting conventional and traditional aspects of architecture, while believing in breaking boundaries. A “total concept” designer, Katayama’s intensions are focused in creating an environment that would touch the subconscious of the consumer and occupant.”
