ABOUT US
ko design concept carefully selects outstanding designs from around the world,
We are a lifestyle brand company that carefully delivers products to Japanese lifestyles.

Importing "Events" rather than "Things"
At ko design concept, we deliver beautiful everyday items from around the world in a way that suits Japanese sensibilities.
Rather than simply importing "things," we believe it is our role to propose products that fit into Japanese lifestyles, taking into account their backgrounds and stories. We carefully select and introduce designs that will be loved for a long time, have a comfortable feel, and have a quiet presence.

MISSION
Bringing the world's best designs to Japan,
Enriching people's lives
KO DESIGN CONCEPT goes beyond mere import and sales, introducing the ideas and culture inherent in design to Japanese society and bringing beauty and comfort to everyday life. As a bridge connecting Japan with the world, we will create a truly valuable lifestyle.
VISION
Connecting design and life,
Cultivating a culture of sustainable development
We utilize the power of design in a wide range of fields, including interior design, fashion, and food, to provide consumers with new choices.
Beyond that, we aim to establish ourselves as a "trusted hub for design distribution" in Japan and become the best partner for global brands in the Japanese market.
VALUE
We value honesty and innovation,
Creating a sustainable and prosperous lifestyle together
We respect the background of brands and products and convey their value with sincerity. At the same time, we expand the possibilities of design through new proposals and challenges, and place importance on sustainable choices that are considerate of the environment and society. We will continue to grow together with our partners and customers, and be a presence that brings joy and comfort to everyday life.
