Project Significance
The Osaka/Kansai Expo is a global event showcasing a myriad of cultures and technologies, with core themes centering on "sustainable futures" and implementing a "circular economy." The furniture pieces, custom-designed and crafted for exclusive use in the VIP room, are emblematic of these themes. E-Unit’s mission reinforces its founding principle of “good things lasting longer.” This project represents not just the reuse of furniture but also the transmission of artistic beauty and historical narratives to the next generation.
By repurposing furniture post-Expo that typically concludes its role, E-Unit aims to develop sustainable distribution models, creating new value from previously used items. The approach demonstrates new possibilities in resource utilization for international events, reinforcing the importance of preserving limited resources and embracing a culture of circular economies while honoring the stories behind each piece.
E-Unit's commitment to a sustainable society also encompasses creating joyous experiences for owners through new value in furniture, all while respecting its design and history.
