It is complete with a pared-back palette that is informed by natural materials as a means to capture the minimal design true to Japanese culture. Speaking about the new space, VSHD Design explains that Glass bricks form a low bar in the waiting area "Origami's interior makeover features [simple forms in natural materials](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/logy), and organic shapes reflecting the simplicity and [minimalism of traditional Japanese culture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ginza-41)." It has monolithic columns and walls that are inspired by the temple's architecture with draped fabric informing the seating. The textured glass continues at the partitions -- all of which come together to channel a mysterious theme.
