Keki Shop

For LeTAO

Our cafe and cake shop for Japanese confectionery LeTAO celebrates the craftsmanship of the brand’s beloved cheesecakes. At the heart of the space, a vibrant wood plinth in LeTAO’s signature blue showcases desserts beneath a softly lit canopy — a second counter of moulded concrete evokes crinkled baking paper. We defined the dining area with sculptural lighting and blue-washed oak walls, layering preserved terrazzo floors and solid wood furnishings to balance richness, texture, and levity.
