Gtdi

As the final step of a branding strategy that actually touches the consumer, packaging design is critical. A package must deliver the brand message in just a few seconds. It must convey how the product can better fulfill a consumer’s needs compared to its competitors, even when the consumer knows nothing about the product. Our work does more than accurately present a product’s unique features and the story of differentiation. We aim to appeal directly to the heart of the consumer. Creating concept with the power to rouse emotion and inspire consumers each time they take a product into their hands. GTDI also handles branding projects that touch all aspects of visual design, including naming and creative solution, more effectively conveying brand value. By approaching each brand component as part of a whole, we aim to nurture the value of a brand as it takes place in the hearts and minds of consumers. With sensitive attention to customer communications and subtle yet bold designs, packaging design in the Japanese market consistently leads the world. gtdi’s mission is brand-building with a primary focus on packaging design. This means more than just developing branding rooted in culture. It means implementing international brand communications that transcend both region and nation. Our team is made up of highly experienced, multi-national designers from Asia and around the world. We understand the nuanced differences between the cultures of a product’s target and its country of origin which reflect those distinctions in our branding strategies.

Shu To

SHU TO / is a creative studio established by Japanese interior designer Yuki Iwatake in 2012, based in Tokyo and Kyoto. We started as an interior design office, working on a variety of projects including events, showrooms, show windows, stores, offices, residences, furniture, store fixtures, and products. The article about our work was published in FLAUNT MAGAZINE, a fashion and culture magazine based in Los Angeles (2021). From 2024, SHU TO / became a newly creative studio which explores "Spatial self-expression". This unique hunger for “self-expression” is strongly influenced by fashion culture. We create pieces of art by fusing multiple elements from interior design, fashion, art, digital, sometimes nature, chemistry, and various traditional culture, while reconstructing beautiful leftover materials from our daily design activities. Through the experimental destruction and harmony of these elements, we create a spatial accent with a intense presence enough to determine the atmosphere. Especially recent years, opportunities we share our space through a screen are skyrocketing. We expect this concept must be a new style to express ourselves. In our interior design projects, we additionally propose to put the accent on the space which reconstructs the leftover materials in the project or the client owns beforehand- We started a project “Hungry Scissors" which explores "Spatial self-expression". Its first works ‘24 1 25 were launched in January 2024. We attempted to create them at a live style in order to reflect our sensibility into it at the time.
