Season 1 Episode 3: Behind the Scenes with PLOTTER Japan
In episode 3, we dive into PLOTTER’s origin story and go behind the scenes to learn more about PLOTTER Japan’s conception. This episode is particularly special, because our host Job traveled to Tokyo to interview two special guests for this episode: Takayuki Saito, Director of KNOX and PLOTTER at Designphil, and CY, founder of Kyuseido and member of Designphil’s Overseas Business Department.
In this episode, Takayuki shares his background, including his education and previous work in the fashion industry. He explains how his experiences shaped his mindset about making products, especially how his background in fashion design influenced his design philosophy for KNOX and PLOTTER products. Takayuki also discusses how he got the inspiration to create an entirely new brand and the reasoning behind creating PLOTTER and its minimalistic distinction from other system ring-planners.
Episode three explores the importance of the design process and the importance of PLOTTER Refills in Takayuki’s creative thinking and design process. We conclude the episode by learning more about PLOTTER USA’s newest Horse Hair II Leather Binders and Takayuki shares the story behind this intriguing new series and how it is closely linked to PLOTTER’s beginnings.
Thank you to Takayuki and CY for participating in this special episode.
