In the bustling Toranomon Hills Tower in Tokyo, a new 40-seat restaurant and bar has been brought to life through the creative vision of Space Copenhagen, the celebrated Danish design studio. Named Apothéose, this culinary haven is the brainchild of the celebrated Michelin Chef Keita Kitamura, who returned to Japan after a successful 15-year tenure in Paris.
Blending the rich tapestry of Japanese culinary traditions with the sophisticated influences of French culture, the restaurant's interior seamlessly weaves together elements designed by Space Copenhagen to craft an environment that is not only inviting but also serves as the perfect backdrop for patrons to indulge in Chef Kitamura's extraordinary cuisine.
As you enter Apothéose, guests are greeted by a bespoke sculptural host station in a spacious hallway. The hallway also extends into a welcoming drinks lounge area with comfortable furniture, including sturdy oak tables and Loafer Chairs from &Tradition upholstered in moss green fabric from the neo-classical inspired Kvadrat Sacho collection. The floor and walls are adorned with earthy, warm, light-burnt terracotta tiles, with some wall surfaces covered in a lighter, semi-transparent textile in a natural tone. The space maintains a seamless connection to the outdoor terrace with lush greenery in the form of trees and plants, creating an invitingly organic atmosphere in the restaurant.
