Tomoyasu Seisakusho has launched a special exhibition at Grand Front Osaka to kick off the 'FactorISM' open factory event. The space utilizes industrial materials like polycarbonate to showcase the atmosphere of local workshops, building momentum toward the main event in October.

Tomoyasu Seisakusho, a company specializing in the sale of interior, exterior, and DIY materials, as well as space production, has been responsible for the space design and construction of a special exhibition at 'The Lab.' in Knowledge Capital, Grand Front Osaka North Building, as a kickoff for the open factory event 'FactorISM,' for which they serve as creative supervisors.

To bring the 'coolness' of small factories to the urban center of Umeda, the exhibition space was produced with materials typically used for factory roofs and walls, such as polycarbonate, taking center stage. This large-scale event, which saw participation from 92 companies and attracted approximately 20,000 visitors last year, is now launching its pre-events leading up to the main event in October.

Highlights and Commitment to 'Materials'

Bringing the uniqueness of small factories to Umeda The aim of the exhibition is to let visitors feel the authentic atmosphere of small factories right in the middle of the sophisticated urban area of Umeda. Polycarbonate, used for factory roofs and walls, was adopted for the fixtures.

The space production fuses the raw character unique to factories with creative beauty. By intentionally exposing industrial materials, it visually expresses the 'atmosphere of manufacturing' that artisans face every day.

Visuals Embodying this Year's Theme, 'Resonance'

Artisans' skills 'resonate' with the hearts of users, and regions 'resonate' with each other. Messages expressing these sentiments are arranged throughout the space. The fusion of graphics and materials directly conveys the theme of FactorISM 2026.

Future Roadmap

Starting from this exhibition at 'The Lab.', product displays from each area participating in FactorISM will begin in sequence from around July. By bringing regional manufacturing closer to this urban hub, they aim to build momentum toward the main event in October.
