Why are we doing?

"The O Block" born from the feeling of "waste"
　
Originally, it was a town factory that specialized in metal stamping.
In our main business, we use large aluminum plates, but inevitably leftovers remain. Scraps from the manufacturing process are often discarded, but there is still plenty of value left in them.
　
The impetus for the launch of this brand began when a young employee proposed a work using scrap materials, which won the Encouragement Award at the 2011 TASK Monozukuri Awards.
Following this success, development for commercialization proceeded. In order to make the most of the characteristics of the material, we repeatedly reviewed the manufacturing process and tested its durability, and it took 6~7 years to solve the problem.
　
After that, we started a workshop before selling it suddenly, and we felt a good response there. At the same time, at the exhibition, we created and exhibited eye-catching dinosaur objects with The O-Brick, and made various sales kits.
For the 2022 Giant Insect Exhibition at Skytree, I was asked to create an object of a praying mantis and a dragonfly.
We raise awareness through the creation of such objects and the holding of workshops. In addition, we are expanding into practical products, and we are pursuing the possibility of products that combine practicality as well as the world of hobbies.
　
　
　
The goal of THE OPROCK is not just to be a toy, but to establish itself as a new category of products that combines learning and fun to spark creativity. We also aim to grow as a pillar of our sustainable business through contributions to local communities and the development of environmentally friendly products.
Rather than just selling products, we provide a "valuable experience." Through this experience, we hope to grow into a brand that enriches our daily lives and convey the joy of manufacturing.

Commitment to the product

"Pursuing both creativity and quality"
　
ZAO Block is a product that pursues both creativity and quality.
The assembly method is simple, and a number of parts are connected with bolts and nuts using fingertips, and then assembled with a hex wrench to create a three-dimensional structure.
　
　
In the production of ZAO BLOCK products, the material is pressed and burrs are removed. The metal is stamped to form the right shape, and then the burrs are thoroughly removed to achieve a smooth and safe finish.
Aluminum is characterized by being "light", but the finish is anodized to achieve both a pleasant texture and high durability.
In the anodizing process, the luster unique to metal and the large number of colors that can be expressed create beautiful colors and unique coloring.
　
　
　
　
　
Copper and brass are used for products with particularly high added value or products that require hygiene.
Copper and brass exhibit great antibacterial properties when they come into direct contact with bacteria and viruses.
In addition, it is a material that oxidizes and ages when the surface of the fabric comes into contact with air or hands.
You can enjoy the unique texture that changes the expression to a vintage taste.
Typical products are "Mask &Mobile Holder" and "Metal Bicycle".
The "Mask &Mobile Holder" is a nice 2-way specification that transforms into a mask holder when the main body is extended, and a mobile holder that can be leaned against a mobile phone when folded. Not only can you wear a mask when you go out, but it is also ideal for online meetings and watching videos. You can also enjoy the difference in the material and texture of the metal itself, and it is a lineup that tickles the playful spirit of adults.
　
　
In a simple design, Zao Block is filled with the commitment of "consideration for the environment," "design for the user," and "sustainable manufacturing." We will continue to create products that can be used for a long time with affection.

Who are supporting us?

"We aim to be a brand that is supported by a diverse range of people!"
　
The O Block is not just an assembly block, but is supported by a wide range of people as an item that allows you to experience the joy of manufacturing.
　
It is also used for free research and workshops during the summer vacation, and has received a lot of support not only from children but also from parents by participating in opportunities for children to learn while having fun.
　
　
Interior miscellaneous goods such as masks and mobile holders can be enjoyed by the difference in the material and texture of the metal itself, making it a lineup that tickles the playful spirit of adults.
It comes in a simple and high-quality gift box, and is recommended as a different gift for those who are picky.
　
　
In addition, we would like to have the process of imagination and formative expression, in which we rely on our own senses to expand our creativity and customize, and we would like it to be used for the training of future engineers and healthy recreation in leisure time.
