"wonderwall is an interior design firm in japan that was established by masmichi katayama. included in its portfolio are commercial, retail, restaurant and bar spaces, as well as office showrooms and building complexes which are distinct in their design while remaining attentive to function.
in katayama's practice, scale models play an important role throughout his design process as a means of capturing a space before it is built. an traveling exhibition entitled 'wonderwall archives' showcases scale models from selection of the firm's projects ranging from 1998 to the present. designboom visited the exhibition at its first showing in tokyo at the ginza pola museum annex and got a glimpse into of katayama's 'small real world'. the show provides a visit through the spaces created by the japanese designer providing an alternative perspective to the already existing structures.
the exhibition has also been shown at the mitsubishi-jisho atrium in fukuoka and will conclude its tour at nagoya parco gallery in tokyo in march 2011.
this is part 1 of designboom's coverage of the show.
