Team Project

Brief

Kokuyo Design Award 2026. Theme: HAMON - Design that Resonates. Design a stationery, furniture, or everyday tool born from personal experience that ripples outward and resonates with others.

Overview

A graphite ball for writing with no predetermined way of use designed to change permanently with every interaction. In every context, the resulting form is a true reflection of the user's interaction style. Self-reflection is not an option. It's an inevitable outcome.

Our goal was not to create a single massive impact, rather small ripples that create a massive impact over time.
A graphite ball with no predetermined way of use. It changes permanently with every interaction. The form it takes is entirely dependent on how you choose to treat it.

It acts as mirror for your actions

The Last piece serves as a tangible reminder of the multiple small ripples, the decisions, and the standards that collectively shaped its final state and metaphorically, you.
