COO&MOOV Received The GOOD DESIGN AWARD 2026 (Japan)

We are pleased to announce that the “COO & MOOV” cuckoo clock and pendulum clock, designed by Ryosuke Fukusada and manufactured by TAKATA Lemnos Inc., have won the Good Design Award 2026 (sponsored by the Japan Institute of Design Promotion, a general incorporated association).

COO & MOOV is a series of steel cuckoo clocks and pendulum clocks that make full use of the distinctive characteristics of perforated metal. It was highly praised for achieving a new form of mechanical clock that blends seamlessly into contemporary interior spaces while maintaining basic functionality—achieved through hour markers aligned with the perforations, a cuckoo window, and the pendulum visible through the gaps in the perforations.

Taking this award as an opportunity, we will strive to expand sales of COO & MOOV, actively promote the use of design in manufacturing, and work to enhance our brand image.

【Evaluation Comments】
既製のパンチングメタルを主要な部材として構成された仕掛け時計である。目新しい機能があるわけでも、大きな社会課題を解決するものでもない。しかし、見た目の美しさや今の暮らしにすっと馴染む佇まい、抑制の効いた装飾には、それだけで人を惹きつける十分な魅力がある。何より面白いのは、パンチングメタルの規則的な孔という制約から、時刻表示や鳩の位置、孔越しに見える振り子など、様々なアイデアを導き出していることである。自由に形をつくるのではなく、既にあるものの特徴や制約を受け入れたからこそ生まれた楽しさが随所に感じられる。細部に至るまで丁寧につくられており、プロダクトとしての完成度も高い。そして何より、理屈を超えて「欲しい」と思わせる。そんなデザイン本来の力を持ったプロダクトとして高く評価した。
