Kikukawa Industries Co., Ltd. Kikukawa Techno Plaza Guest Lobby

Kikukawa Kogyo is a leading company in metal processing and building materials that handles numerous large-scale construction projects both domestically and internationally. This project is a renewal plan for visitor facilities on the grounds of the Shirai Factory, which is our processing base. The theme is a place where you can feel the essence of Kikukawa Industries, which has accumulated over its 90-year history, including the KIKUKAWA ism "Never Say No" and continuing to take on new challenges without giving up. We have created a new displays area to introduce the company's history and processing processes, and through art and fixtures that incorporate advanced technology, we aim to impress upon you our enthusiasm and technology for manufacturing, and create a place that will lead to new co-creation.

This facility is the first stop for clients (architects/designers) when they visit the factory to discuss concept design or confirm production, and is the place to provide company information and hold meetings. However, interiors of the facility was showing signs of aging, and the space needed to be renovated, both as a first impression of the company and as a creative environment. We received requests for this concept design based on the theme of ``a space that gives an impression of Kikukawa Industries' corporate stance.''

We incorporated Kikukawa Industries' attitude of never giving up and taking on challenges, including the phrase "Never Say No," into the displays fixtures. We will create impactful fixtures and art that incorporate the advanced processing technology that is Kikukawa Industries' strength, instill corporate spirit and technology throughout the space, and work together with Kikukawa Industries as a "manufacturing partner" for visitors. We aimed for a facility that would raise expectations.
