In one of the special classes of the Tokyo Designplex Institute located in Shibuya, Mr. Ishiguro from OUWN gave a lecture.
It became a unique lecture with an interesting twist to it,
beginning with the title “The connecting meals that restaurant OUWN produces,” its content being strongly influenced by Mr. Ishiguro’s personal experience as he often gets his inspiration from cooking and food.
In the workshop,
he let the participants share the experience of finding out how to expand their ideas by exchanging them and by combining everyday techniques with some special methods.
We want to thank the many students that participated for their willing attendance.
At the ONE SHOW 2019, a global award ceremony held in New York,
MATURITY, designed by our company, received a Merit in two divisions,
the art direction division and poster design division.
At OUWN, we strive to regularly submit to design awards and so on to increase motivation, expand perspectives, and improve quality.
We will take the opportunity to report on the other prizewinners
in the first half of the year.
We will strive to design better quality products and have fun while doing so
in the second half of the year.

“New Year’s Cards from 100 Creators” Exhibition vol.14 [official link]
This exhibition will display New Year’s postcards that creators have sent in to the specialist paper trading company Takeo Co., Ltd.
This year will be our first attempt at working with local creators to hold simultaneous exhibitions at Takeo locations throughout the country: Yodoyabashi MIHONCHO, Fukuoka MIHONCHO, and of course the flagship MIHONCHO HONTEN location.
The MIHONCHO HONTEN location will also exhibit New Year’s cards designed by Mr. Ishiguro of Creative Studio OUWN.
This year’s design makes use of seldom seen gold leaf to create finely worked, minuscule foil renderings.
Members of the public and design and print enthusiasts alike are sure to love our exhibitions of this familiar item — the New Year’s card.
We hope you enjoy both the cards and the New Year’s wishes written on them by their creators.

On the 1st book floor of the 2nd building of the Daikanyama Tsutaya Store, there is a BOOK BOX, a box shaped bookshelf that introduces readers to current prominent creators.
It is currently exhibiting the exhibit “Book jackets you can feel” in collaboration with the magazine Brain, published by Senden Kaigi.
The title is “Dot Trip Exhibition”.
Through the designer Atsushi Ishiguro’s “book jackets that can be felt”, the feelings of going on a journey of thought with the expressions of a book are linked with the actual journey of experiencing a new sensation.
These book jackets invite readers into the world of books.
Mr. Ishiguro has designed and will be exhibiting and selling numerous kinds of book jackets that emphasize both design and content,
so that readers may go on many different kinds of trips.
Exhibition Opening September 1, 2019 at the Daikanyama Tsutaya Bookstore, Building 2, Floor 1
