• About the interior design firm
  An interior design office in Tokyo with the motto of "one and only design to the world" by designer Todoroki. In the 20 years since its founding, half of the projects have been restaurants. In Japan, while only 10% of all restaurants could have been in business for more than 10 years, however, the 80% of restaurants designed by Todoroki have continued to operate as prosperous stores.

A member-reservation-only sauna. Based on the concept of "OVER THE REVITALIZATION", not only sauna, it introduced the latest medical detox, CBD, and many arts.

The entrance has countless frames likened to the anonymous crowd living in modern society and introduce to the sauna like another world by passing through it.
“LATTICE” is a natural and authentic motif and “CELL” is a geometric polygon evokes the image of cells being activated by metabolism by a sauna. The dome-shaped “COCOON” is calculated for heat convection and has the image of calming the mind in a pure white cocoon.
