The conos Lounge

A place to gather, work and connect

"conos" envisions a new workplace experience.

ITOKI CORPORATION (Headquarters: Chuo-ku, Tokyo; President and CEO: Koji Minato) will be holding an experience event for the office table "conos," created in collaboration with product designer Fumie Shibata, at a special venue on the 2nd floor of the Aoyama Building for seven days from Friday, July 11th to Thursday, July 17th, 2025.

As its name, which means "cone" in Spanish, suggests, "conos" is a shape for gathering that combines a beautiful, free-flowing form with functionality. It gently opens up space and, like a perch, creates natural connections between people, painting a picture of the future of offices.

Gathering, talking, staying. How will this product, which brings new comfort to each of these everyday actions, add color to the workplace? Come and experience it for yourself at the venue.

■EXPERIENCE

Spatial styling by Fumiko Sakuhara

The spatial styling of the venue was handled by interior stylist Fumiko Sakuhara. With "conos" as the main focus, the office scene will be created where spontaneous communication is generated while creating organic connections. During the event, you will be able to actually WORK-Style in this space and experience for yourself the "future office landscape" depicted by "conos."

■ORDER EVENT

Held a test session for the work chair "vertebra ⁰³"

We will hold a pop-up trial session where you can consider ITOKI's work chair "vertebra ⁰³" while handling upholstery samples. You can experience the selection of colors and materials to suit your space and simulate coordination with "conos". We also plan to distribute special benefits and discount tickets to those who are considering purchasing.

■TALK EVENT

"Fumie's Room" has been revived, where we talk about "the future of work."

This event marks the revival of "Fumie's Room," a talk event hosted by product designer Fumie Shibata. As an opening event, it will be held at the event venue from 6:00 p.m. on Friday, July 11th. The guest will be architect Koichi Suzuno (TORAF Architects), who will discuss design, space, and the future of "work."
