Collaboration with TeamLab for Interior design

Maidreamin Shibuya was in collaboration with TeamLab★ for digitized interior design. As the theme of maid comes from a fictional world such as manga, anime and video games, the designer wanted to create a space of “being in a digital world like video games”. People can interact and communicate with each other through the technological interface in the café.
