Japan Benex to Exhibit at '3daysofdesign 2026' in Copenhagen, Denmark

Japan Benex (Headquarters: Isahaya City, Nagasaki Prefecture; President: Yohei Kobayashi) is developing the 'EETAL' project, which explores the 'new possibilities of sheet metal' through the precision sheet metal processing technology cultivated since its founding and collaboration with creators. EETAL will make its first appearance at '3daysofdesign,' one of the largest design events in Northern Europe, held in Copenhagen, Denmark, in June 2026. For this first participation, the exhibition will be held at 'Prolog Coffee Bar,' a representative Danish cafe located in the 'Paper Island' area, which has been gaining attention due to recent redevelopment. For this exhibition, the company has invited the Korea-based industrial design studio 'KUO DUO' as creative director and spatial designer to bring the EETAL worldview to life. EETAL has released six collections under the theme of 'pursuing new possibilities for sheet metal.' For this project, which has nurtured products across borders and cultures by collaborating with designers from Korea and the US while based in Japan, this exhibition at 3daysofdesign is a major step in presenting the values cultivated so far within an international context. In this exhibition, KUO DUO will organize all of EETAL's collections as a 'landscape' that blends into the daily space of Prolog Coffee Bar. Through the contrast of materials and the rhythm of the space, the exhibition allows visitors to experience the attitude toward sheet metal processing and the background of craftsmanship that EETAL has pursued. By being deployed in a cafe space, visitors can touch and sit on the furniture, enjoying the works as an extension of daily life. In addition, products currently under development with WAKA WAKA and Lichen will be unveiled, presenting the possibilities of new sheet metal expressions born from collaborations with design studios from different cultural spheres.
