The interior has openness and transparency, maximizing natural light and views from the 23rd floor. The entire space uses glass walls with delicate lattice work and brass details to emphasize an interactive work environment. The conference room as the main node has been created to represent a forest through which you actually pass through to enter or leave. The flooring patterns and furniture have evolved from traditional marquetry techniques. The design reflects the rich heritage of a company that has grown over three generations.
