Brands Shimadzu Design

Shimadzu Design is a department within Shimadzu Corporation engaged in a broad range of design activities, including the external appearance, UI, communication, research, evaluation, and more. Since the establishment of the Shimadzu Corporation Design Department in 1958, the department has been guided by the founder’s belief in craftsmanship: “If it benefits even just one person or if it’s something that doesn’t exist in the world, try doing it if it contributes to people.” This principle forms the foundation for their design activities.

In this project, Shimadzu Design utilizes the analytical measurement technologies of Shimadzu Corporation, which have primarily been applied in the fields of healthcare, life sciences, and the environment. They utilize these technologies as a starting point to understand phenomena that are perceived as beautiful. Through the creation of this installation, they are exploring new possibilities for analytical measurement technologies.
