目新しさや斬新さにとらわれることなく、本質的な課題を見出し、最適な価値・体験を創り出す。DESIGN FOR INDUSTRYは、一過性・一方向的なのものではなく、持続性・双方向性のある新しさを描き出し、社会のなか・生活のなかに溶け込む「心地よい革新」を創造します。

We find the essential issues and create the optimal value and experience without being caught up with novelty. Rather than transient, one-sided things, DESIGN FOR INDUSTRY aims to create a fresh feel with durability and interactivity, and to realize “comfortable innovation” that blends into society and everyday life.

DESIGN FOR INDUSTRYは、新しさや美しさ、使い易さはもちろん、わたしたちのデザインを通じて関わる全ての人と共に末長く分かち合える“喜び”のきっかけとなるものを丁寧に創り上げたいと考えています。

デザインによって、今ある問題を解決するだけでなく、今までになかった視点・手法をもたらすことで、その先に繋がり拡がる新たな可能性を共に築き、事業全体から日々の生活まで、より良く豊かな未来の実現に貢献します。

We strive to create designs that are not only newness, beautiful, and comfortable to use, but that also serve as a catalyst for a long-lasting "enrichment" that can be shared with all those involved through design with sincerity. We pour great care into designing things that will embody a shared achievement and will be completely satisfying for the long term.

Through design, we try to not only solve existing problems, but to find points of view and techniques that did not exist before. In doing so, we’re striving to invent new potential with our partners, which results in an abundant and plentiful future in everything from business through to daily life.
