ForestBank

ForestBank™️ isn't simply lumber, but a material design that looks to find the variety of value in entire forests.
ForestBank™️ researches the problems and possibilities around forests, and rather than simply creating lumber, seeks to find the various value in whole forests, performing experiments and developing materials that realize that desire. These products are made from small trees, foliage, bark, seeds, soil, and other items considered worthless for construction or furniture making by mixing them only with a reactive mineral base and water-based acrylic resin that uses no organic solvents or volatile organic compounds.

VENUE

WORLD Kita-Aoyama Bldg.

World, established in 1959 in Kobe as a wholesaler of women’s knitwear, was named as such to represent its aspiration of becoming an enterprise that would advance into a worldwide market. Since then, the company has led the industry with new ideas that have overturned conventional thinking and has grown quickly into a comprehensive apparel manufacturer. In 1993, we launched retail sales and developed brands and operations that targeted diverse sales channels. Responding precisely to the changes in the market environment and the needs of our customers has enabled us to become the leading fashion business company in Japan. In 2017, we transitioned into a holding company system to evolve into the fashion industry’s comprehensive service group. We are also striving to generate new value through “co-creation” while designating the World Kita-Aoyama Building, our base in Tokyo, as a sign and symbol of the World Group’s vision. Through events such as DESIGNART, we will encourage broader participation and co-create a new communication culture within which people feel connected and related to each other.
