Coto Coto is a minimalist interior located in Nara, Japan, designed by Torafu Architects. The architects renovated a corner of the Naramachi Civic Center in Nara City. Deliverables included a space where tourists as well as locals can gather after all the nearby shops have closed down and experience the appeal of the city. In Japanese, the name of this event and dining space, “coto coto” echoes the wish to bring and join together the many undiscovered valuable “things” (koto) of Ancient Nara (Koto-Nara), while evoking the “rattling sound” the lid of a simmering pot makes to Japanese ears (koto koto).
