LOVE! Art with Kobe Design University
The hotel will be decorated with ECO & GRAFFITI (simple graffiti) art with the theme of "LOVE!" to coincide with the Valentine's Day and White Day season.
Students from the Hironaka Seminar, led by Associate Professor Kaoru Hironaka of the Visual Design Department at Kobe Design University, upcycled waste materials such as remote controls and shower hoses that were no longer in use at the hotel and revived them as art. This is an "ECO x ART" initiative that breathes new life into familiar materials.
Furthermore, by adding your own words to a message card made from upcycled cardboard, your love can become a part of the art.
Be sure to join us for Event where we will fill the lobby area with LOVE!
