Innovative Collaboration for a Sustainable Future
Rebornsmith, a progressive company based in Meguro, Tokyo, has officially established a business partnership with Iwakuni City, Yamaguchi Prefecture. This collaboration marks the launch of their new facility, "Iwakuni Studio," where they aim to revolutionize sustainable and circular manufacturing processes. Set to commence operations in April 2026, this initiative aims to extend the scope of local craftsmanship and creativity, promoting innovative design and production techniques on a national and global scale.
Background of the Initiative
Originating from a foundation of leather restoration, Rebornsmith specializes in reviving products ranging from vintage Hermes bags to nostalgic school backpacks. Recently, they've expanded their expertise into 3D CAD design and AI-driven social media marketing, establishing a unique circular business model encapsulated by the phrase "Repair × Renew × DX." The establishment of the Iwakuni studio represents not just the opening of a regional base, but a concerted effort to embody their vision: "Creating Anywhere."
This initiative highlights the company's commitment to fostering local talent and building a sustainable manufacturing framework that resonates with the local community's needs and aspirations. It's about collaboration and transformation, driving forward the concept of community-driven production that adheres to modern ecological principles.
Focus Areas for Iwakuni Studio
The Iwakuni Studio will operate on several key fronts:
- - 3D CAD Design and Production
- - AI Analysis and SNS Marketing
- - Original Novelty Production
