Introducing Grassy: Nature-Inspired Modern Living

The renowned Japanese company, Ikihiko Corporation, established for 138 years, is set to debut its innovative new brand 'grassy' at the highly anticipated Orgatec Tokyo 2025, held at the Tokyo Big Sight from June 3rd to June 5th. This marks the first time 'grassy' will be showcased at a domestic exhibition, following its successful launch at the prestigious Milan Design Week earlier this year.

A Legacy of Natural Living

Ikihiko Corporation has long been a leader in the production of igusa (a type of rush grass) products, promoting a lifestyle intertwined with natural materials. The introduction of 'grassy' represents an evolution of this philosophy, embracing the concept of bringing the comfort of nature not only into products but to encompass entire living spaces.

The brand's innovative approach reinterprets igusa, a traditional Japanese material, into contemporary products that harmonize with modern aesthetics while preserving the natural essence.

The Concept of Grassy

The brand plans to showcase a variety of products that highlight igusa’s versatility and benefits, such as its exceptional durability, odor absorption, and humidity control. Igusa has been cherished in Japan for over 1,400 years, and 'grassy' aims to seamlessly integrate this natural material into diverse spaces like living rooms and bedrooms, delivering comfort and a refreshing atmosphere.

Not limited to products alone, 'grassy' seeks to enhance entire spaces with the vitality of nature, proposing igusa as a foundational material in architecture, interior design, and product design.

Background and Objectives of the Exhibition

Visitors to the booth South Hall S1-I-06 will have the opportunity to experience the sensory qualities of 'grassy' products firsthand. The curated experience is designed to engage all senses, allowing attendees to appreciate the unique textures and aromas of igusa. Grassy’s product range is envisioned for various applications across hotels, offices, nursing facilities, kindergartens, architectural firms, and commercial spaces, fostering collaborations with designers and developers.

The Orgatec Tokyo 2025 will feature 163 exhibitors from Japan and abroad, bringing together architects, interior designers, educational institutions, and government representatives — all professionals dedicated to the art of spatial design. 'Grassy' aims to showcase its unique vision for a harmonious space, expanding the design possibilities where nature and humanity coexist beautifully.

We invite you to visit the 'grassy' booth at Tokyo Big Sight, South Hall S1-I-06, and experience new ways to transform spaces into natural sanctuaries.
