AB Concept unveils the Ritz-Carlton Tokyo Lounge: A Fusion of Luxury and Japanese Elegance 

Tokyo, Japan, 11 July 2024 – International design and architecture practice AB Concept is proud to announce the completion of its latest project, the Lounge at the Ritz-Carlton Hotel in Tokyo, Japan. This renovation seamlessly blends the opulence of luxury living with the refined elegance of Japanese aesthetics, creating a unique experience set within the grandeur of a private manor house.

The newly renovated lounge invites guests into a world where traditional Japanese craftsmanship meets modern design sensibilities. The environment is designed to transcend guests into a luxurious personal experience, akin to being hosted within a private garden manor. The fusion of traditional and contemporary elements offers an immersive experience that captivates and delights.

Upon entering the hotel lobby lounge, guests are greeted by a sophisticated ambience that combines luxury furnishings with a curated collection of pieces reminiscent of a residential haven. The design draws inspiration from traditional Japanese craftsmanship, featuring intricate woodworking and delicate washi paper details. This meticulous attention to detail sets the tone for a memorable and elegant stay. 

The renovation introduces new design elements that enhance the lounge's residential and authentically Japanese atmosphere. Floor lamps crafted with wood and washi paper motifs replace existing pendant lights and wall sconces, adding to the room's cultural heritage. These enhancements blend modern comfort with traditional elegance, offering guests a seamless and harmonious experience.
