About the Project

Overview A new Showrooms for Rengo Co., Ltd., a company that solves social issues through a variety of packaging solutions.
Targeting both new and existing customers, the aim was to create a space where Rengo could present new solutions to customers by showcasing its constantly updating planning and technological capabilities from multiple angles.
Issues/Themes This will be an opportunity to change the image of Rengo as a cardboard business to one that is more broadly recognized as a packaging manufacturing company.
Our goal is to identify the issues our customers face and find the optimal solutions.
Space Solution/Realization In the old Showrooms, exhibits were organized by business, which limited the options customers had for resolving their issues. In the new Showrooms, we have reorganized the exhibits by theme and issue, such as "environment" and "sales promotion," creating a space where customers can learn about Rengo's wide range of packaging solutions.
Additionally, in the entrance space, linear lighting that resembles the "core" of cardboard, which increases its strength, was installed throughout the entire space from the entrance to Showrooms, creating an impressive expression of Rengo's new creativity, continuing from the past to the future.
Design for Environment 3R design: We use our own cardboard, which is 98% recycled paper, for display fixtures, signs, and print media. We plan a space that minimizes waste from changing exhibits.
