Design Engineering

Takram’s design engineers bring together the perspectives of design and engineering in a single practice. Specializing in the ideation, design, and prototyping of both hardware and software, they work through rapid cycles of making, testing, and learning to accelerate R&D initiatives, proof-of-concept development, and the journey from exploration to commercialization.

Bouncing with MOTION & CONTROL

Global campaign for a manufacturer of machine parts, including bearings

We planned and produced the global campaign “__ with MOTION & CONTROL” for NSK Corporation, starting with “Running with MOTION & CONTROL” in 2020 and following it with “Connecting” and then “Drawing.” In 2023, under the theme of “Bouncing,” we were responsible for designing mechanisms and control systems as well as producing the finished video and graphics.

The campaign video showcases NSK’s role in providing MOTION & CONTROL across various applications through its proprietary mechanisms. It illustrates NSK’s push into the future, leveraging its ability to harness swift and accurate movements.

DYNAMIC EQUILIBRIUM OF LIFE

Design and development of the exhibition for Expo 2025 Signature Pavilion

Takram designed and developed the exhibition for the Expo 2025 Osaka Kansai Signature Pavilion "DYNAMIC EQUILIBRIUM OF LIFE," produced by FUKUOKA Shin-Ichi. The project took two and a half years to complete and encompassed circuit board design to create delicate and ephemeral lights, self-supporting structures with complex overlapping elements, including system development, computer graphics, and music. Using 320,000 LEDs, this 360-degree circular theater, viewable from any angle, expresses "life existing within an ever-changing flow" that has been continuously woven for 3.8 billion years.
