How can we design an experience that expresses the concept of “life existing within an ever-changing flow”?
For the Signature Pavilion “DYNAMIC EQUILIBRIUM OF LIFE” at EXPO 2025 Osaka, Kansai—produced by biologist FUKUOKA Shin-Ichi—Takram led the exhibition planning, development, design, and direction.
We started by inventing brand-new methods of expression.

Over two and a half years, Takram crafted every layer of the experience—from circuit-based lighting to create delicate, ephemeral effects, to complex self-supporting structures, system development, CG, and music.
320,000 LEDs animate a 360° circular theater, visualizing 3.8 billion years of life as one continuous, ever-shifting flow.

Precision in motion—crafted through design engineering, year after year. Since 2020, we’ve partnered with NSK on their global campaign “__ with MOTION & CONTROL,” creating a fresh verb-driven theme annually.
Powered by NSK’s bearing expertise, we built a bespoke mechanism to create swift, precision-engineered motion—connecting people and things across generations, worldwide. In 2021, the theme was “Connecting.”

Why does Takram emphasize prototyping?
It’s how we think with our hands—testing, learning, and making decisions in real time.
Prototyping bridges ideas and execution, uniting design and engineering.

AIR SHELF — a shelf that requires no drilling.
Born from our collaboration with Heian Shindo, Japan’s leading maker of tension-rod systems, it pairs a light, floating presence with the strength to hold over 10 kg.
A new form of furniture, designed to adapt gracefully to the changing rhythms of life.
