Atmosphere

Interior Designing

Mr. Yasumichi Morita has designed a comfortable space in which robots exist in harmony with lush greenery. Wood, stone, greenery, metal, soil, and other natural materials abound throughout the interior. One can see pendant lights made with dry moss, extending the sense of a peaceful walk through a forest.

A rhythm created by original furniture and colorful mauve pink, purple, blue, and gray fabrics creates a high-quality lounge space. The earthen walls created by Naoki Kusumi, a plaster craftsperson, and green decorations designed by green artist Yuko Bito are also featured highlights of the café interior.
