ITOKI CORPORATION (Head office: Chuo-ku, Tokyo; President: Yoshiro Hirai) will begin offering free rentals for a limited time to allow people to experience telework furniture created through collaboration with Kamakura Living Lab.

The first project is a sharing space called "Nishi-Kamakura CONNECT," located a two-minute walk from Nishi-Kamakura Station.
We will be exhibiting "ONOFF" and "UBIQ".

Nishi Kamakura CONNECT is a town development company founded by local residents, and operates a shared space that can be used for multiple purposes, such as workspaces, events, and parties.

In addition, on Saturday, March 14th, we will be holding a workshop by Kamakura Living Lab in collaboration with Nishi-Kamakura CONNECT. The theme of this workshop will be "How to utilize telework and shared spaces."
Two workshops will be held, one in the morning and one in the afternoon, for people who live or work in Kamakura City.

About Kamakura Living Lab

In this era where we are expected to live to 100 years old, the aging of the population is progressing in many regions, and major changes to the very structure of society, including infrastructure, are urgently needed. Another open innovation activity being carried out around the world with the aim of solving various social issues is the "living lab."

ITOKI has been involved in the Kamakura Living Lab since its inception in 2017. In response to the voices of local residents in the Imaizumidai district of Kamakura City who said, "We want to make this a place where people of child-rearing generation want to live," ITOKI worked with Kamakura City Hall, the Institute of Gerontology at the University of Tokyo, and local residents over a period of about two years to develop telework furniture together with the residents. They had local residents actually use the furniture in their homes, and repeatedly carried out activities such as identifying areas for improvement, which ultimately led to the actual sale of the telework furniture. This activity won the Leading Award, an award for excellence, at the 7th Platinum Grand Prize in 2019.
