Perancangan desain interior Japanese BBQ Restaurant ini dilatar belakangi oleh perancangan bisnis dalam bidang kuliner, yaitu restoran Jepang yang bernama Kiyoku Japanese BBQ Restaurant yang berlokasi di Kuta, Bali. Restoran tersebut menjual masakan khas Jepang, yaitu yakiniku (masakan panggang) dan shabu-shabu (masakan rebus), dimana restoran menerapkan sistem ‘self-service with assistance’. Maksud dari sistem ‘selfservice with assistance’ adalah customer melayani diri sendiri dengan cara memilih bahan masakan yang diinginkan dan memasaknya sendiri pada meja makan yang telah disediakan,namun tetap mendapatkan pelayanan profesional dari pegawai. Oleh karena menggunakan sistem self-service, maka diperlukan perancangan furnitur dan sistem kebakaran yang baik dan sesuai dengan standar. Restoran menggunakan lahan yang memanjang ke belakang, dengan bangunan yang merupakan bekas rumah tinggal, sehingga diperlukan perancangan interior yang menyeluruh dan zoning area yang tepat untuk menghindari kesan melorong dan memanjang. Gaya desain yang diangkat adalah gaya Jepang, sesuai dengan jenis masakan yang dijual di restoran, sedangkan tema desain diangkat dari rumah petani (farmhouse) Jepang pada zaman Edo. Lahan bangunan restoran memiliki luas total sebesar kurang lebih 865,22 meter persegi dan memiliki sepuluh kebutuhan ruang utama yakni, area makan, area display, area kasir, area dapur, area kantor, area pegawai, area guide, area toilet, area penyimpanan, dan area akuarium.

The material processing for the needs of architectural, interior and furniture products were done manually all this time. Woodworking machinery (one of them is CNC) and CAD-based software were only been maximized as supporting tools to increase the speed of working process, resulting the outcome products were limited to manual working outcome only. This recent research on form processing aims to maximize the optimal use of material in the contexts of achieving structural ability and complex form. Plywood material becomes the focus in this research, due to its most frequent use in architecture, interior, and product design. With its texture that resembles the characteristics of original wood and its sheet-shaped form, this plywood material is easy to process and environmentally friendly. Digital fabrication enables the designer in design process and simulation through software to shorten the prototyping process which usually took loads of materials, thus can reduce the materials waste. The project that presented is an example of design production with physical examples.
