Takara Space Design

What Takara Space Design does

Takara Space Design (TAKARA SPACE DESIGN CORP.) is a privately held Japanese interior design and space-planning firm headquartered in Osaka that designs and builds commercial interiors for three specialized end markets: hair and beauty salons, dental clinics, and medical/cosmetic clinics. The company operates a unified design services business segmented into three vertical sub-brands — SALON, DENTAL, and MEDICAL — each with its own dedicated microsite (takarasd-dental.com, takarasd-medical.com) and Instagram account, plus a Pinterest presence and an editorial Journal on the main site, takara-s-d.com.

Its core offering is professional space-design services: interior design consultation, space planning, and execution support for commercial clients opening or renovating beauty, dental, or medical facilities in Japan. The firm has no proprietary software or technology platform disclosed; its value sits in accumulated design expertise, vertical specialization, and brand recognition built since its 1959 founding, including editorial features in Japanese industry publications such as 商店建築 (Shoten Kenchiku), 経営とサイエンス (Keiei to Science), and PROF RIKEI.

Revenue is generated through direct, project-based professional services engagements with individual business owners (salon and clinic operators), priced via custom quotes per engagement with no publicly disclosed pricing. The go-to-market is direct sales via dedicated contact forms and vertical-specific websites, supported by organic social (Instagram, Pinterest) and content marketing (Journal, industry magazine features). Headcount is in the 101–250 employee range and the firm runs active dual-track recruiting (new graduate and mid-career) to sustain its multi-vertical delivery capacity.
