Organizational Strategy
The design of HND22 is inspired by Jazzu kissa culture in japan and around the world
originated in Japan in the late 1920s as part of a wider enthusiasm for Western culture and music, Jazzu kissas boomed post wwII. Jazzu kissas served as places to hear imported jazz records that were too expensive for individuals to buy, but also a staying space to enjoy a cofffe and a bite.
in recent years, Jazzu Kissas inspired listening lounges around the globe, e.g. public records, NY.
