Introduction to the conos Lounge Event
Itoyki, a renowned Japanese office furniture manufacturer, will host an experience event called "The conos Lounge" from July 11 to 17, 2025, at a special venue on the second floor of Aoyama Building, Minato-ku, Tokyo. This event, in collaboration with product designer Fumie Shibata, aims to present a new vision for modern workspaces through the innovative office table, "conos".
The Concept of conos
Derived from the Spanish word for "cone", the conos table embodies an elegance that merges form and functionality. Its graceful, expanding design encourages natural connections amongst users, reshaping the landscape of contemporary offices. It challenges the conventional notions of workspace by fostering gathering, conversation, and a sense of calm.
Attendees will have the opportunity to immerse themselves in the reimagined workplace dynamic posed by conos, showcasing how such a product can enrich daily professional interactions. Participants are invited to experience firsthand how this beautifully designed table can impact their working atmosphere.
