SAINTMARC HOLDINGS New Kyoto Headquarters

SAINTMARC HOLDINGS CO.,LTD., one of Japan's leading restaurant groups, relocated its headquarters from Okayama and established its new headquarters in Kyoto.

Using the dining plate as a canvas, the entrance features a depiction of Piazza San Marco in Venice—symbolizing Saint Marco, the inspiration behind the company's name. 

The VIP reception room, highlighted by bespoke sofas upholstered in the company's signature deep navy corporate color, is likewise a showcase of craftsmanship. 

Created in collaboration with Kyoto's master artisans, the spaces incorporate traditional crafts including Kyo lacquerware, Nishijin textiles, and the decorative painting techniques used for Buddhist ritual objects, creating an environment that seamlessly blends corporate identity with Kyoto's rich artisanal heritage.
