2. Highlights of the KOKUYO/Lamex Exhibition
(1)Innovative booth design that redefines the boundaries of space
A modular open structure was chosen based on the concept of "No Space." Functional areas are divided by a matrix of white metal pillars while maintaining a sense of fluidity and transparency in the space. Furthermore, a special transparent material was used to emphasize the concept of "No Space," effectively blocking out external interference while allowing clear visibility of movement within. The use of translucent motorized curtains also allows for a design that flexibly changes the boundaries of the space.

・Reproduction of a workplace setting through musical performance
Employees from KOKUYO Furniture (China) and Lamex will perform an original musical to allow visitors to experience a creative and lively workplace environment through office furniture.
