Born in Canada, designer nendo or Oki Sato has as much western roots as Japanese. And this happy mix has resulted in a crazy designer gym at Illoiha, Tokyo, which scales new heights. Rather than the usual faux boulder texturing you see on climbing walls, nendo has taken your typical indoor fixtures and fittings to provide even more challenging handholds and finger grips. If you're bored with fake rocks, try clambering over a giant canvass of baroque picture frames, shelves, mounted deer antlers, flower vases and even bird cages. Can anyone say quirky?
