CORNER (copy corner)” will open.
“COPY
“CORNER” does not treat “print/copy/printing” as a mere process of output or product production, but rather “recovers” the appearance of everyday items by directly connecting creators and users and blending ideas and technology. We see it as a means of creating and redefining the value of everyday items by “repairing + restoring”.
KOKUYO is “COPY
CORNER is positioned as a platform for experimenting and practicing “experience design,” which is one of the values provided by the company, and through activities that cross-border blends creators and users, creation and consumption, goods and things, retail and community, etc. , aims to update people’s creativity. By designing purchasing activities that create connections between people through creativity, we will work with creators to redefine the motivation for creating and purchasing, and attempt to put into practice “urban local production for local consumption.”
“COPY
CORNER” will open on the third floor of Harakado, a “platform where creators gather.” KOKUYO will continue to disseminate “experience design” in this place where creative-minded individuals and companies from a wide variety of industries meet and co-create.
