Kashiwa Sato's Vision for Takeda Global Headquarters

Kashiwa Sato, renowned for iconic branding, infused Takeda Global Headquarters with the spatial concept of "life force," reflecting Takeda's botanical origins. Sato's design weaves a narrative of human life through eight kanji motifs, symbolizing life, water, light, soil, tree, people, connections, and future, embodying Takeda's essence.

The interior design creates a space where stakeholders can share the vision of the future, aligning with Takeda's brand image.
