PLOTTER TOKYO, Opens on September 23, 2025
Fostering Innovation with Creatives:
PLOTTER’s First Flagship Shop, PLOTTER TOKYO,
Opens on September 23, 2025
Designphil (headquarters: Shibuya, Tokyo, CEO: Yuri Aida) is a design company that inspires greater enjoyment of daily life and suggests new ways to live through design. PLOTTER TOKYO, the first flagship shop of the brand PLOTTER, will open on Tuesday, September 23, 2025 (Japanese public holiday).*1
PLOTTER offers tools to help creators with the imagination to shape the future (PLOTTERS*2) expand their creativity and bring new ideas to life. Since its creation in September 2017, the brand has developed products with the theme, “Go beyond the boundaries of system planners, and use them more freely and creatively, like a notebook.” Leading the way is the iconic Leather Binder, followed by the Refill Memo Pad, a notebook-style product that removes the concept of refills, and the Project Manager, an accessory refill that aids in organization. A unique world view for the brand has been established through these products.
The soon-to-be-opened flagship shop is designed as a space for fostering close communication with customers, creating real-world experiences and added value that cannot be achieved through virtual connections alone. The shop concept is “Connecting Through Creative Communication: A Special Place Where PLOTTERS Connect Through Creative Communication.” By linking the three Cs of “Connect,” “Creative,” and “Communication” it aims to bring creative products and ideas to life in a tangible way. Aiming to be a place where new creations are co-created with those who use PLOTTER products, the space will be filled with the real charm of a dynamic environment where something new is always being born.
The building was designed with the concept of “Embrace,” which signifies two elements resonating with each other. Just like how the different elements of leather and metal, leather and paper, or tradition and innovation support and accept one another, new creations are born through their interaction. Through this building, the flagship shop aims to convey the value of this harmony.
The flagship will be a place where users of PLOTTER products from around the world gather, converse, create connections, and expand into the future. The brand hopes that many people will come to experience it as a vibrant hub where a wide variety of personalities, things, services, and experiences intermingle, and something new is always being born.
The shop space on the first floor offers a selection of signature items and the opportunity for customers to experience the materials up close by handling the samples and selecting their own unique PLOTTER set. The flagship shop will be a space where customers can receive guidance to create their own PLOTTER style, designed by the Creative Director, featuring original leather goods, apparel, shoes, and various accessories.
The second floor features limited-edition items exclusive to the flagship shop, as well as a workshop where maintenance and customization services are provided. Furthermore, there is a section where customers can experience a world of mixed-media collages made from leather, art, and other materials. The flagship invites customers to enjoy niche installations that spark creativity, in a space where they can fully experience the materials that PLOTTER holds dear, such as leather and paper.
On Wednesday, July 30, 2025, the PLOTTER TOKYO page on the official PLOTTER website (www.plotter-japan.com) and PLOTTER TOKYO’s official Instagram account (@plotter_tokyo) both went live. Detailed information about the products the flagship carries and the events it hosts will be shared on the website and Instagram.
Since crowds are expected during the opening period, PLOTTER TOKYO may implement a pre-reservation lottery depending on the situation. More details will be published on the official website.
*1 Although the PLOTTER TOKYO flagship shop will usually be closed on Tuesdays, the opening date was set to commemorate the birth of the brand (September 23, 2017).*2 We define “PLOTTERS” as planners, organizers and creators with the imagination to shape the future. We offer tools with which PLOTTERS can expand their creativity, bring new ideas to life, and envision the future.

A Space Crafted with Intention

Inspired by PLOTTER’s essential material, paper, this imaginative light fixture uses traditional washi paper to evoke floating clouds—an homage to the origins of creativity.
