NOMURA Co.,Ltd. Installation "CREDIT - A Fragment of Effort"

In our two previous exhibitions, we have taken a questioning and concept design approach towards a sustainable society. This year's "CREDIT - A Fragment of Effort" is an experimental initiative that aims to bring about a slight change in "selection criteria" and "perspective" by touching on the stories behind the finished products.

As we work on creating spaces, we hypothesized that by paying attention to the time, technology, and thoughts of the creators behind the spaces and products we come into contact with on a daily basis, we might develop a deeper attachment to the objects and spaces.
For example, through the fragments that come from factories and work sites, such as fragments of prototypes, failed products, and tools that have been used for many years,
You can sense the countless trials and errors, judgments, and ingenuity that went into the finished product. By learning about the creator and the feelings that went into the item, your understanding and appreciation for it will grow even greater.

This project is being carried out by seven in-house designers and production managers, mostly young people, who are active in different fields. They actually visited factories around the country and engaged in dialogue with artisans. They will be exhibiting fragments of prototypes, well-used tools, and other artifacts that bear the memories of trial and error and ingenuity. We hope that visitors to displays will be able to sense the unique message of NOMURA Co.,Ltd., a company that specializes in creating spaces.

NOMURA Co.,Ltd. noon by material record x &SPACE PROJECT “DEBRIS”

This is a joint project between "noon by material record," an R&D project by NOMURA Co.,Ltd. Group with the theme of sound and resources, and the "&SPACE PROJECT," which aims to expand the space industry by creating new products using waste materials from space development.

GRANDIR + Yuzo Kosaka, Yuji Tanaka, Yoshiki Ichikawa, Ayaka Hagiya, Hiromi Sato "Time-structured Space | SEN-AN"

interiors construction A spatial experiment project in which the company GRANDIR collaborates with designers, artists, and craftsmen in space, lighting, and graphics to reconstruct the traditional culture of the tea room and re-examine the "Japan" in the present day. Our designers are also participating in this project. The tea room is an experimental space that reinterprets the materials and structure of the space, inheriting the fact that it was originally a "spiritual device" that reexamines time, space, and relationships. The material was created by hand by craftsmen using LGS (lightweight steel frame) used in interiors construction.
