Description

Kumoo is an experiential communication tool designed for school environments undergoing a shift toward creativity-driven education. Its name comes from the Japanese word "kumou", meaning “let’s build together”, emphasizing collaboration and creativity. Starting from a 1/10-scale model—like a set of building blocks—Kumoo transforms into a full-scale, freely assembled product that sparks children’s creativity and unlocks new possibilities. Moreover, it is made using reclaimed wood scraps from local timber suppliers near the school, achieving a sustainable, eco-friendly design.
