"TRIPATH PRODUCTS" is a product brand launched in 2019 by Tri Path Co., Ltd, a metalworking company headquartered in Ishikari City, Hokkaido, using metalworking technology cultivated over many years.
Our first meeting was at the end of 2018.
Tri Path Co., Ltd, was in the process of exploring the directions in which they could apply their technology to initiate a new and original business, considering a wide range of possibilities from snow shovels to camping equipment.
What was most notable in that meeting was their passion to create products with a sense of dedication and admiration, all driven by their love for what they do. And, above all, their determination to have fun in the process was remarkable.
At the heart of the brand are Mr. Katayama, the sales manager, and Mr. Nakayama, the factory manager.
(Mr. Nakayama, the factory manager, also served as the model for the key visual!) Aside from their passion for their work, what makes the brand even more exciting are their interests in camping/outdoors/design/fashion/art.
This finely-honed sensitivity led to the development of their first product, the "GURU GURU FIRE" bonfire stand.
We thought that it would be ideal if this passion could bring about a good cycle within Tri Path Co., Ltd,'s core metalworking business, and therefore we proposed the brand name "TRIPATH PRODUCTS", which includes the company's name.
We believe it is crucial to convey the background of the efforts put in by Mr. Katayama and Mr. Nakayama.
We also created the watchword "TANOSHIMETARU" (to have fun with metal) based on the the essence of this brand, which has its roots in “SUKI” (liking).

STATEMENT DESIGNを
We believe that there are several difficulties faced by new businesses operated by small and medium-sized enterprises.
・Leveraging the accumulated value of existing businesses
・Developing a brand with an agile development process
・Focusing on specific points of interest while working with a limited budget
While working under severe constraints that are too numerous to mention, we continued to value the importance of "creating impacts that will have an effect on existing businesses".
As we considered the metalworking industry and its solutions to unique circumstances and potential challenges, we decided that we do not want to create a new business simply to generate new sales, but to create something that is necessary to drive the growth of the company in the future.
We created the watchwordd "TANOSHIMETARU" and proceeded with STATEMENT DESIGN.

キービジュアルとなりました。
The strength of the products lies in their utilization of metalworking technology.
At the time of the brand's launch, we crafted a worldview and visuals intended to convey the brand's origins to users.
The logo is designed to combine iron with an infinite number of shapes.
For the key visual, we actually fabricated the background out of iron, making it a key visual that could only have been created by TRIPATH PRODUCTS.

2022年の寅年から、
第一段の寅年は、
Starting in the Year of the Tiger in 2022, we are collaboratively developing New Year's limited edition products featuring motifs inspired by the Japanese zodiac.
The first product, for the Year of the Tiger, is a pot stand that can be used both in daily life as well as outdoors.
The second product, for the Year of the Rabbit, we collaborated based on the idea of creating a hook that serves as a practical gear piece and can also be used on a perforated pegboard. The brand, which started out in the outdoor category, is currently exploring its future direction and is transitioning toward a product-focused approach.
