"E-mail sticky notes"
strap
This work takes a letter-shaped sticky note and turns it into a strap. Recipients always enjoy small, handwritten messages. This proposal expands the "communications functions" of the mobile telephone and, in some small way, brings new warmth to those connections.

used mobile telephone case
We try to "take care of our things," and this concept led us to the idea of doing something new with used mobile telephones. You probably have several old mobile telephones tucked away in a drawer, each associated with its own memories. This product allows you to store those phones in an album.

"Juden jewelry"
AC adapter
The mobile telephone has become a fashion item, an integral part of you, just as your clothing. This product asks whether we can't do the same thing for the recharger. The concept model sits somewhere between a fashion accessory and a gadget.

Earphones
You can't see your own earphones when you have them on. They're only visible to the people around you. But what if there were animals living in your ears? We wanted to create earphones that would bring a smile to the faces of those around you.

recharging stand
Why do many people take their mobile telephones off the recharging stand to recharge them? Is the telephone merely an object tied to a pedestal? This work proposes a new style of recharging in which the phone continues to be phone-like while being recharged.

"sora to sora"
AC adapter
Recharging the mobile telephone can be bothersome and is easily forgotten. This work makes the activity a bit more fun. It also changes the area around the wall socket, which tends to be dark and forbidding, adding a new image of "space."

"Illuminate"
AC adapter
The "Illuminate" uses the telephone as a light source, bringing different colored lights into your room. You can, for example, use a firefly image to express digital content and combine it with the "illuminate" to create a new style of lighting.

"ribbon"
Cord tape
Cords quickly tangle. They always seem to get in the way. We use a ribbon to make them easier to store. They're tucked away cleanly and prettily, as refreshing to the mind as to the eyes. Use a red ribbon to tie up all your jangling cords too.

"hanahira"
Strap style mobile telephone cleaner
"Blossom, oh my phone!" The "hanahira" was designed for women who want their phones to be beautiful. Normally, it looks like a small bud, unobtrusively attached to your telephone, but it opens into a beautiful flower that makes your phone more beautiful too.

"coin"
Mobile telephone cleaner
This is a coin-style cleaner. Wiping the screen itself becomes fun, as if you are opening a scratch card. You can keep it in your wallet like an ordinary coin, so you don't even need to have it dangling from a strap.

"macal"
Mobile telephone cleaner
The more beautiful the woman, the more she deserves a beautiful telephone. That was the idea behind this work. The concept was "when you polish your telephone, you polish yourself." We hope it will be used like a makeup kit whenever the phone owner has a bit of free time.

"Bloom"
AC adapter
Shedding light on the process of mobile telephone recharging. A Japanese style flower silhouette has been placed on the connector between the recharger and mobile telephone. It lights up and gently sways to visually indicate the recharging progress. The recharger tells you it's recharging, but does so with beauty.
