ReBoot Inc. is building a unique "next-generation support model" to address the issues of a growing disparity society accelerated by capitalist structures and rapid technological development. Based on this model, we employ up-and-coming next-generation creators who do not belong to any specific company. Under comprehensive direction cultivated at Dentsu and X Corp., we provide design support that maximizes their sensibilities. As one of our initiatives, we would like to introduce our creative support case for Ippodo Tea, a company with over 300 years of history and its main store in Kyoto.

Overview: Handled the graphic design and video production for store signs, menus, and advertisements for the opening of the Shin-Marunouchi Building store in Tokyo, which was opened with a focus on enjoying tea via takeout.
We built a design that maintains the dignity of a long-established store while being soft, unobtrusive, and fostering a sense of expectation. Based on a deep understanding of its history, we pursued a design that appeals to a new store primarily focused on takeout.
