Orque D’or: Redefining Exclusive Membership Through Design and
Innovation
Situated in Tokyo’s high-fashion district, Orque D’or (Gold Orca) redefines the concept of membership clubs, combining fine dining and art. Guided by Tokai Tokyo Securities’ principle—“As a provider of financial services, we contribute to our customers’ asset formation and capital growth, thereby supporting the Japanese economy”—the club merges financial and non-financial services, fostering meaningful connections, cross-industry collaboration, and engaging conversations between members and hosts.
A Visionary Concept
Orque D’or’s “Comfortable Extraordinary” philosophy challenges convention, sparking curiosity and interaction. In an elegant, forward-thinking environment, the club transcends traditional exclusivity, offering inspiration and engagement on every level.
Original and Inventive Design
A striking blue foil wall—modernizing traditional Japanese craftsmanship—sets the tone as guests enter. Art-integrated interiors, sweeping Tokyo views, and a rotating gallery ensure fresh experiences each visit. The restaurant’s video art installation, made from thousands of optical fibers, transforms real-time stock market data into vivid displays, blending finance with creativity.
The two-level club connects startup founders on the lower floor with higher-tier members who enjoy full access, creating intergenerational dialogue. Thoughtfully designed spaces flow seamlessly between dining, bar, and lounge areas, while a symbolic service counter becomes a focal point for artful, memorable interactions with staff.
Human-Centered Spaces
Inspired by British manor houses, Orque D’or’s open layout invites members to share ideas, collaborate, and innovate. The space seamlessly combines refined aesthetics with functionality, ensuring guests feel comfortable, inspired, and engaged.
Sustainability at the Core
Orque D’or integrates sustainability into its mission by transforming collected plastic waste into artistic furniture. Collaborating with local craftspeople and small businesses, the club merges traditional Japanese techniques with modern methods, revitalizing industries, fostering environmental responsibility, and raising awareness. Each piece tells a story of rebirth, inspiring members to consider their impact and embrace innovation.
A Catalyst for Innovation and Growth
Serving nearly 3,500 members—investors, executives, and entrepreneurs—Orque D’or is more than a restaurant; it’s a living art exhibition. Carefully curated elements blend artistry, innovation, and cultural significance to spark meaningful connections, celebrate sustainability, and inspire creativity. Redefining membership clubs, Orque D’or becomes a driver of progress, enriching its members and the broader community socially, economically, and environmentally.
