KOKUYO: Bring Curiosity into Life

In May 2026, KOKUYO relocated its office to GRAND GREEN OSAKA. For this Design Week, we open our working office, A Promenade of Discovery, co-created with the internationally renowned interior design studio Studio O+A.
This is no display of finished products neatly arranged. It presents a future of work in which spatial boundaries blur and people, nature and advanced technology come together. The workplace combines the comfort of beautiful biophilic design with a continually evolving aesthetic of incompleteness. It is a place for intellectual experimentation that stimulates creators and designers and reawakens curiosity hidden in everyday life.
Come and experience the energy of KOKUYO's living design in person.
