Discover the Unique 'Booring Bar' in Hiroo!

On August 7, a special event will unfold at the gallery muun in Hiroo, Tokyo — the one-day-only 'Booring Bar'! This event is designed for individuals looking to escape from their hectic daily lives, even if just for a little while.

The 'Booring Bar' offers a distinct experience that focuses on relaxation rather than on traditional bar offerings. Instead of cocktails or other alcoholic beverages, guests will engage with innovative lighting inspired by sparklers, called DEW. This unique setting invites visitors to ''zone out'' and relish the beauty of simply being — a luxurious time to do nothing.

At the 'Booring Bar,' multiple options aim to support your relaxation journey:

• - Booring Light: Enjoy the calming glow of DEW.
• - Booring Coffee: A unique blend with a twist.
• - Booring Herbal Tea: A soothing choice for relaxation.
• - Booring Tips Stickers: Small reminders to inspire moments of stillness.

Why the 'Booring Bar'?

In today's fast-paced world, many find themselves bombarded with excessive information, resulting in mental fatigue. In this context, the precious idea of having 'nothing time' or 'booring time' is often overlooked. The 'Booring Bar' seeks to combat this trend by encouraging patrons to step away from information overload, offering an intentional respite for the mind and heart.

The inspiration behind this event lies in the need for a consciousness reset. By gazing at the gentle flicker of DEW lights, participants can recharge from the digital demands of daily life, ultimately nurturing a deeper connection with themselves. This enjoyable yet peaceful ambience embodies the core wish of this experience.

The DEW Light: A Meditative Experience

A key feature of the 'Booring Bar' is the DEW light, inspired by sparklers. Designed by the creative studio VITRO in collaboration with the Tokyo Industrial Technology Research Institute and Panasonic, this lighting embodies the healing power of analog light amid a digital age.

Watching the gentle descent of the light's glow can induce a meditative state, transforming the experience into one of true well-being. Previous events featuring DEW reported an average decrease in stress levels by 3.8 times post-use.

Furthermore, its exquisite design earned recognition, winning the 2024 GOOD DESIGN Award [Link].
