Kaneka Milano Salone 2011

This was Kaneka Corporation's first exhibition at Milano Salone, the world's largest concept design trade fair. The company aimed to bring out the potential of OLED lighting panels, which are expected to be the next generation of lighting source and are thin, light, and emit soft light as a surface light source, by creating a space themed around a Japanese bar, with the image of cherry blossoms at night. In addition to the actual design, layout, production, and construction, Kaneka handled the total production, including venue arrangements, on-site management, and coordination with creators.
