The Parallel Blue Aquarium Dining by Tetsuya Matsumoto, A' Design Award

Interior Space and Exhibition Design The Parallel Blue Aquarium Dining by Tetsuya Matsumoto Located in one of the most bustling nightlife spots in Japan, The Parallel Blue offers a new aquarium dining experience in Shinjuku, Tokyo.
