DOT TRIP

We have started our “Dot Trip” web content on the OUWN site.
Dot Trip will introduce wonderful creators that are known to OUWN.
But these creators do not fit within the frame of “design.”
There are lots of deeply creative people involved with OUWN’s work.
This is a page born out out of the desire to share creators’ inquisitive nature and politeness, no matter who you choose.
We believe that if you and each of the individuals we introduce were single points,
then those lines connecting you will increase and take on a variety of new forms.

OUWN EXHIBITION CIRCULATION

From Jan. 7 to Jan. 28, 2017, OUWN will be holding an exhibition entitled “Circulation.”
The venue will be the Starbucks Coffee Neighborhood Store in Hatsudai 1-chome. Hosted in the unconventional venue of Starbucks, this exhibition will allow even those who rarely come in contact with design and art to experience artwork freely and to spend a pleasant time together with others.
Given that idea,
it was decided that we would accept this wonderful proposal, take the plunge, and hold this exhibition.
We hope you enjoy the link between the peace and calm of the Starbucks dining space and OUWN’s exhibition, “Circulation.”

About

OUWN was founded as a corporation in 2013 by Atsushi Ishiguro and Munechika Fujita. The name stems from our hope to foster interaction, dialogue, and feelings between our owns and yours ( "own" + "u" ) through designing.
In addition to art direction, OUWN’s activities extend into many different fields such as graphics, web, fashion, visual, logo, and other types of design.

With a variety of nice dialogue with you as a "dot", OUWN wishes that dots will connect down the road.
