Takemoto Oil & Fat Co., Ltd. Head Office R&D Center Entrance Renewal

Takemoto Oil is a global company with a 300-year history that operates a food business centered on Maruhon Sesame Oil, and a chemical business based on interface chemistry.

We recently undertook the renovation of the entrance to Head Office office.
Our aim was to create a space where visitors (domestic and international customers, local residents, and job-seeking students) could experience the company's culture and history, while also improving employee engagement and telling the company's story.

As a company with 300 years of history, we wanted a space that would convey that weight and tradition. As a company that values authenticity, we were asked to value the inherent value of the materials and create a space with dignity and dignity.

With the goal of allowing visitors to experience the company's 300-year history through the space, the overall design combines the texture of Oya stone, which conveys a sense of accumulated weight, with warm, wood-grain louvers. The fusion of tradition and modern concept design was concept design to convey to visitors the long history of Takemoto Oil Co., Ltd. and the evolution of its continuously innovating technology. The central structural column is finished in a bronze color reminiscent of sesame oil, and is positioned as a symbol of the lobby.
As a result, we were able to create a high-quality, tranquil space befitting a long-established company.
Furthermore, by covering the entire wall with mirrors, the entire space appears larger.
