Corporate Philosophy

Create new values by designing extraordinary time and space through the pursuit of the unconventional style, that we call LOC - Lack Of Common sense

studio LOC

Historically, new values and ideas have always been created by those who doubted what was considered to be common sense in those times, and sometimes those who were said to lack in common sense. Our corporate name “Lack Of Common sense” represents the desire to challenge without fear even though it seems to lack common sense

In a situation where the future is becoming more unpredictable with the advent of a depopulating society and the fight against unknown infectious diseases etc., it is necessary to use data and artificial intelligence to make accurate business decisions in a flexible manner

Our strength lies in our capability to think, plan, and execute, based on the information gathering and analysis skills cultivated as consultants and on our experience as entrepreneurs who started businesses from scratch

We will continue to create new values for society by designing harmonious solutions that combine the latest technologies and out-of-the-box ideas, while sincerely addressing the concerns of our customers
