Takram

Takram created a concept film for DESCENTE PRO’s new ski jacket, looking ahead to the Milano Cortina 2026 Winter Olympics. Rooted in the challenges athletes face, the film captures the vision of a symbolic product exploring new possibilities in sportswear.

Takram is helping design the user experience and interface of a lunar rover—so astronauts can live and explore as they journey across the Moon. A joint R&D project by JAXA and Toyota. takram.com/projects/lunar…

Since its launch in 1993, the J.League has shaped Japanese football and forged deep bonds with fans and communities. We're now partnering with the league to reimagine its brand and visual language for the future. takram.com/projects/jleag…

How can we make sense of an uncertain future? As a co-creation partner, Takram collaborated with the Transformation Design Center (XDC) of Panasonic’s Design Headquarters on “VISION UX” — envisioning possible futures through everyday stories. takram.com/projects/panas…

Takram designed and developed the H3 Flight Status Indication System for Public (H3 FIP)—a real-time visualization system for Japan’s next-generation H3 rocket. Installed at JAXA’s Tanegashima Space Center, the system supported the live broadcast of the launch.takram.com/projects/h3-fip

What does it take to design a truly valuable tool—like scissors—that has hardly changed for decades? Together with KOKUYO, Takram created HASA: scissors designed for honest sharpness and lasting use—both as a product and as a brand. takram.com/projects/hasa

As the creative force behind Pokémon, Creatures Inc. has introduced a new identity—balancing the quiet strength of trust with the playful spark of unpredictability. Takram supported both the concept and its visual articulation. takram.com/projects/creat…

Over two and a half years, Takram crafted every layer of the experience—from circuit-based lighting to create delicate, ephemeral effects, to complex self-supporting structures, system development, CG, and music. 320,000 LEDs animate a 360° circular theater, visualizing 3.8 billion years of life as one continuous, ever-shifting flow. takram.com/projects/expo2…

How can we design an experience that expresses the concept of “life existing within an ever-changing flow”? For the Signature Pavilion “DYNAMIC EQUILIBRIUM OF LIFE” at EXPO 2025 Osaka, Kansai—produced by biologist FUKUOKA Shin-Ichi—Takram led the exhibition planning, development, design, and direction. We started by inventing brand-new methods of expression.

Why does Takram emphasize prototyping? It’s how we think with our hands—testing, learning, and making decisions in real time. Prototyping bridges ideas and execution, uniting design and engineering. note.com/takram/n/n2aee…

Precision in motion—crafted through design engineering, year after year. Since 2020, we’ve partnered with NSK on their global campaign “__ with MOTION & CONTROL,” creating a fresh verb-driven theme annually. Powered by NSK’s bearing expertise, we built a bespoke mechanism to create swift, precision-engineered motion—connecting people and things across generations, worldwide. In 2021, the theme was “Connecting.” takram.com/projects/conne…
