TARO: Where Atmosphere Begins with Fire

Even in the most functional part of the space — the kitchen — we aimed to preserve a sense of intimacy and drama.

The open grill isn’t just a cooking tool; it’s a visual centerpiece. In the dimly lit room, it becomes a stage where the culinary performance unfolds.
The glow of real fire, the reflections, the shadows — everything is designed to make the guest feel not just like a spectator, but part of the moment.

At TARO, function and emotion move in sync. That’s the essence of the space.

TARO: The Architecture of Flavor, Inspired by Nature

While creating TARO, we drew inspiration from the rice terraces of Vietnam—a harmonious system where idea, form, and function merge into a unified rhythm.

Idea – a deep connection with nature and tradition: a space where every element feels alive.
Form – a stepped organization reflecting the terraces, playing with textures and levels.
Function – a restaurant as a gastronomic performance, where the cooking process becomes part of the atmosphere.

This is how TARO was born—a place where architecture, flavor, and emotions come together to create a complete experience.

A New Chapter for KIST.DESIGN

We are evolving. A bit sharper. A bit more precise. Yet always true to our core — the balance of idea, form, and function.

Our updated logo is a sign of change. It reflects our growth, our journey, and new horizons. Precision in lines, attention to detail, and clarity in form — this is the new chapter of KIST.DESIGN.

We continue to create spaces that do more than shape the environment — they tell stories. Where every detail has meaning, and every line leads to the essence.

A new chapter. A new energy. The same principles.
