Kokuyo Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Osaka City / President: Hidekuni Kuroda) announces that it will hold the exhibition 'WILL ⇄ REAL: Tangible Data, Expanding Production' jointly with VUILD Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Kawasaki City / Representative: Koki Akiyoshi) starting from Wednesday, April 15.
1. Exhibition Overview
In 2022, Kokuyo and VUILD formed a capital and business tie-up. Using digital fabrication technologies, such as the digital wood cutting machine 'ShopBot', as a common language, they are engaged in cross-disciplinary manufacturing across areas like spaces, furniture, and art. In 2025, they jointly held the international design competition 'Digi Fab Award 2025 by KOKUYO x VUILD', and the Grand Prix winning work 'Strata Engawa' was also exhibited at the Venice Biennale. (*)
This exhibition is a record of these practices. We have classified 12 projects into 6 categories: 'EMBODY', 'TRANSLATE', 'GENERATE', 'CO-CREATE', 'JOIN', and 'EXTEND'. The starting point for every project is someone's 'WILL'. Then, data and digital fabrication transform it into 'REAL'. You can touch, see, and feel this process with your hands and eyes.
