Overview
Arabi-An Tea House in Dubai Design Week 2023. This tea house derives its shape from the latitude of the land and was built using local food waste as food concrete. In this case, the joints were made of tea and the floor tiles were made of grapes. The food concrete is the structure of this tea house.Recycled paper and cork are also used. It is a biodegradable tea house where everything returns to the soil.

He is the first heirloom tea master. While wandering in Europe as a student, he realized that he didn’t know much about Japanese culture even though he was Japanese, and started learning tea ceremony after returning to Japan.
After returning to Japan, he started to learn tea ceremony. As a member of “SHUHALLY Project”, he runs tea ceremony classes and tea parties with the motto of “making tea ceremony more free and fun”.
