Artleap Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Minato-ku, Tokyo; Representative Director: Masahiko Nishida) announces that it has formed a capital and business alliance with Hitototo Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Shibuya-ku, Tokyo; Representative: Takuzo Yamamoto), which operates the bakery cafe brand "Pan to Espresso to."
Through this alliance, both companies aim to create new cultural experiences by fusing "food and art," and will jointly promote the utilization of art in F&B establishments, offices, and urban spaces. We aim to stimulate people's sensibilities and create new value in cities by creating spaces where art naturally breathes into daily life.
Last December, the first initiative, "Pan to Espresso to Shibaura Gallery," opened, followed by the second, "Pan to Espresso to GINZA ART LOUNGE," in April. This capital and business alliance was formed as a result of these successes.

■ Background
Pan to Espresso to Shibaura Gallery Interior
In recent years, in corporate spaces, commercial spaces, and urban environments, "sensory value" and "experiential value" are demanded more than ever, beyond mere functionality and convenience. The era is shifting where how to create a unique atmosphere, culture, and creativity in workplaces and living spaces determines the value of the space itself.
On the other hand, art is not yet sufficiently utilized in Japanese offices, F&B spaces, and everyday public areas. Art should not be something to be appreciated only in special places; it inherently has the potential to exist close to people and enrich daily perspectives, conversations, and ideas.
Artleap Co., Ltd. has championed "Decorating, adorning, and stimulating offices with art," and has been developing its "Art-Hack" business to bring works by young artists into corporate spaces. They view art not just as decoration, but as a device to create new meaning and dialogue in a space, promoting its introduction into offices and facilities.
Furthermore, "Pan to Espresso to" has gained widespread support as a brand that provides quality time and cultural experiences that are close to daily life, centered around bread and coffee.
The philosophy of "Pan to Espresso to" to bring richness to people's lives through food resonated with Artleap's vision of implementing art into everyday spaces, leading to this alliance.
■ Details of the Alliance
Through this alliance, both companies will pursue the following initiatives:
① Artification of F&B spaces
We will sequentially implement exhibitions and sales of works by young artists at each "Pan to Espresso to" store.
We will redefine cafe spaces not just as places to enjoy food and drink, but as "accessible galleries" where people can encounter art in their daily lives, creating new visitor experiences.
② Expansion of stores with co-located art galleries
We will promote the development and expansion of new business formats that fuse F&B and galleries, starting with "Pan to Espresso to Shibaura Gallery."
We aim to create complex cultural hubs where people who visit for food can naturally encounter art, and those who visit for art can experience the overall charm of the space.
③ Establishment of an artist support platform
We will build a system that integrates exhibitions, sales, and spatial implementation, creating an environment where young artists can continuously gain opportunities for exhibiting and selling their works.
This will be developed as a support model that fosters the sustainability of their activities and creates connections with the market, rather than just one-off exhibition opportunities.
④ Expansion into office and urban spaces
Utilizing the expertise of both companies, we will pursue initiatives that include introducing art into corporate offices and urban spaces, in addition to cafe stores.
By implementing art in various places where people gather, work, and stay, we aim to enhance the value of spaces and create new cultural experiences.
■ Future Outlook
Through this alliance, both companies aim to achieve the following:
・Formation of a new cultural sphere through "Food × Art"
・Popularization of art experiences in daily life
・Expansion of exhibition and market opportunities for young artists
・Creation of new spatial value across F&B, offices, and urban spaces
Going forward, we aim for art to take root in society not as something "in special places" but as something "naturally existing in daily life," spanning cafes, offices, and urban spaces.
Through this alliance, both companies will work to build a new cultural infrastructure where food and art intersect.
