But when they exhibited new products to abroad, they realized there was a new needs

And a person in charge of the brand said that the tatami material would be spread its needs other than mat.

To answer influences of these exhibitions in France, DAIKYO Corporation is considering to sell these exhibited furnitures in Japan.
They are going to challenge a new category
“Furnitures with the tatami”.

It’s a fusion of tatami materials and furnitures.
Images of new products aren’t only

but also
