Observation + Distillation
Observation is always the key of development.
We try to look at all the phenomena around the project objectively as much as possible, and try to clarify the point to develop the project.
On the process of distillate the ideas, the end result is often purified as a simple solution.
Fun + Function
Functionality is the key to make the life of a design last longer.
However, we looking at not only physical functionality but also the effect of psychological functionality.
Interactivity + Theatricality
Design is completed when it is used by people.
Providing satisfactory interactive quality is a key of the design.
We always try to create a maximum effect with a minimum solution.
