Nyoi Nyokki is a Japanese izakaya pub in Beijing, clad with wooden louvers, covering the walls and ceilings to create an intimate atmosphere. The centerpiece of the place is the original aged wall revealed from former coverings behind illuminated liquor bottles. The bar counter features wood louvers and glass pendant lights on the ceiling to define a spatial hierarchy for the most dominant part of the izakaya pub. Nyoi Nyokki evokes the traditional Japanese aesthetics of wabi-sabi through an assemblage of the aged wall, natural wood and steel.
