Tokyo, Japan
In Japanese, “Furi Furi” means “shaking, swinging”—and this Tokyo design team certainly shakes up some swinging pop fun in all media.
About
Established in 1998, the now defunct Furi Furi Company had expanded to include everything from consulting and planning to media promotions, not to mention their renowned character design. Combining a manga aesthetic with a generous helping of adult madness, Furi Furi breaks through language barriers to create fun for all audiences.
