Kyoto Heritage Suite

Luxury Boutique Hotel

Kyoto Heritage Suite — Kyoto, Japan

The Brief

A contemplative piece for a private suite, to be viewed from the garden through glass.

The Process

The hotel's design philosophy is wabi-sabi — beauty in imperfection. Turkish travertine, with its natural pores and warm irregularities, was the only material that fit. The piece is positioned to catch morning light through the garden-facing glass, creating a shadow that shifts throughout the day.

We specified Aurevo because they understood restraint. The piece is powerful without being loud — exactly what a Kyoto space demands.
