PLUGO DESIGN CENTER

Selecting a charger is selecting a future landscape.

It is used to be called a gas station.
Let’s create such a future in which people and automobiles will coexist.

Tips for design always exist in the environment.

Charging spots, if becoming electricity storage spots,
will become disaster-prevention bases in the future.

Let’s have E-Mobility, a landscape which is desirable for environmental consideration.

A sustainable future means a future that we want to sustain.

Let’s create a future we want to sustain.

In the place where it should be, in the form it should take

Turning a parking block into a charger – as simple as it may sound, various restrictions hindered its realization. And while verifying each of them, we established this simple yet strong concept.

It must not interfere too much with the existing physical properties. It must be appropriate for the installation environment. It must adapt to a wide range of locations and regions. All of these must be cleared in order to give the space only simple “charging functions". To attain a high level of perfection as a solution, development is underway to launch the product in 2022.

In the place where it should be, in the form it should take. PLUGO's comprehensive strength of environment-minded design philosophy along with the technology to make it happen will soon bear fruit.

01

Adding only new functions

When considering the factors that create visual noise in the environment, the impact of designs that prioritize the convenience of cars and products is big. However, essentially. the problem lies in the installation of the new object itself, and thus keeping the change we trigger in the existing space to a minimum is desirable.

This led us to the hypothesis that if we can add functions to what is already there, we might be able to keep the noise extremely low. Instead of creating something that was not there, turning the parking block, which was there to begin with, allows us to only add functions to any environment.

02

Realizing the concept through the synergy with IoT

This hypothesis, however, is so simple that the hurdles were difficult to overcome. The charger’s necessary functions needed to be realized within a limited size. Of course, no compromises were allowed. Since the concept is clear-cut, even the slightest flaw would ruin everything.
Development has been underway since PLUGO was founded. The amount of physical information in the casing itself was reduced to absolute minimum by minimizing the board and by strengthening the IoT, which externalizes the reservation function as a web system. Our aim is to implement abundant functions while preserving the parking block’s compact form.

Designing a universality

"DESIGNING A NOISELESS SOCIETY" – this is the mission of PLUGO DESIGN CENTER. Our goal is to create a society clear of visual noise, through the power of design.

Even a design that looks sophisticated at first glance adds to the noise if it is inappropriate for where it is, and sustainability cannot be created. It is important for a product to fit into any environment as if it is meant to be there, and to be utilized for a long time. "PLUGO BLOCK" pursues a design of universality, so to speak.

We heighten our resolution of seeing into the future and present the utmost solutions to social issues. PLUGO will create a realistic future that will make you want to stick to.
