CA-TON is more resistant to humidity than cardboard and other paper products, and is made of resin with a thickness of just 0.7 mm. It is not only lightweight by a special structure (patent pending) but it is also excellent in impact resistance due to falling, collision and so on. It is designed to assemble from the folded state without using a tool, and it can be stored in a flat state when not in use. Since the main body and the lid are in a single whole piece, there is no possibility of losing or forgetting the lid.

シンプルでは無い開発過程
Development process which is not simple
Paper meeting
Sample meeting
prototype
まず紙での試作を5回以上作り、構造の確認を行いました。
First of all, it took more than 5 times of making failed paper prototypes to confirm the structure.
Structural design
さらに実際に樹脂でのサンプル作成を行い出来栄えのチェックを更に行います。
In addition, we actually make the sample with the resin and check the performance.
Structure verification
resin sample
最後のこだわりポイント。ジョイント部分の機構です。
The last point of commitment. It is the mechanism of the joint part.
Mechanism which does not separate
楔の構造が負荷にも耐えられるボックスを生み出しました。
The wedge structure has created a box that can withstand loads.
Joining part
最終的には10回以上のサンプル製造を繰り返し、企画書も膨大な量になりました。
Finally, we repeated the sample production for more than 10 times, and the proposal book also became enormous.
Development trajectory
シンプルな使用環境を実現するアプリ
An application that realizes a simple usage environment
Normally you open the box and check inside as you search for stored items. You may have experienced that you open all the boxes and yet you don’t find one you are looking for. CA-TON comes with a tag and an app that allows you to see the contents in the box with the lid closed, using your smartphone. Write some words or illustrations that tell you what’s in your CA-TON on the tag, you can see the image of the contents you registered in advance as though it were transparent as long as you keep on smartphone.
CA-TON can be assembled from the folded state without using a tool, and can be stored in a flat state when not in use. Since the main body and the lid have a unitary structure, there is no possibility of losing or forgetting the lid.
CA-TON has 4 different sizes. Each size has designed to get stacked beautifully to one another. Above all, with a simple design with a good proportion, we will create a well-organized and comfortable space with CA-TON. we offer you the storage that can be simply and beautifully furnitured, not the storage that you always hide.
