In this market, every fruit and every leafy green has its own place and value. The ingredients with vibrant colors and symmetrical shapes are neatly arranged on the shelves, waiting to be chosen and become the stars of home cooking. Meanwhile, those that may not look perfect but are still fresh and delicious embark on a different journey. They may end up at the NG restaurant, where chefs transform them into stunning creative dishes, rediscovering their value. Alternatively, they may be sent to the food bank, shared with those in need, and turned into a warm meal.



This is more than just a market—it's a food revolution, a world where "Good & Not Good" coexist. Here, perfection and imperfection are no longer opposing labels but part of a harmonious cycle. Through its unique spatial design and operational model, the market encourages people to rethink the value of food, teaching them not to waste precious resources simply because of less-than-perfect appearance, but instead to cherish and share, allowing every ingredient to reach its full potential.



The design of the market tells this cyclical story through space and materials. The G section represents refinement and order, with geometric lines, smooth materials, and vibrant colors that create a modern and orderly space, showcasing the purity of freshness and perfection. On the other hand, the NG section embraces natural imperfections, breaking free from conventional frameworks, using irregular shapes, organic materials, and soft tones to convey a warm and creative atmosphere. This design language isn't just reflected in the market's visual style; it permeates the consumer experience, allowing people to feel the idea that "imperfection is also beauty" as they navigate the space, influencing their perception and choices regarding food.



Walking into this market, shopping becomes more than just purchasing—it’s a choice: a choice to cherish, to share, and to embrace a more sustainable lifestyle. Every ingredient has value, and every choice has the power to change the future.
