Business
FLATS are cardboard craft figures created by KUNISAKI TIME,Inc. in which an original system is used in a similar way to a CT scan, in order to cut and break a 3D image for a later reassembly. Each piece of the figure is cut by a highly precise laser machine, which makes the assembling process very simple, since no extra elements are needed (scissors or glue). The main material used for our creations is cardboard and our works are being exhibited and commercialised as eco-friendly products in several museums and design shops both in Japan and internationally.
Since the creation of a cardboard mannequin in 1998 (which was awarded the "good design award" in 2001) FLATS has respond to several request for products and also has developed displays, interior goods, special packages, famous character figures, lighting equipment and even robots. FLATS is always improving its creations and widening the field for the usage of its work.
