Discover “The Identity of the Conqueror”, Takeo’s exhibition celebrating one of the world’s most iconic stationery paper brands last fall in Tokyo, with 800 visitors.


The exhibition emphasized the elegance and versatility of Conqueror, and to understand how it can convey a brand’s positioning. Visitors explored Conqueror’s iconic finishes, including Laid, Wove, Rag and CX22, each renowned for its unique texture and print performance.


Many visitors were students or young designers who expressed interest in using Conqueror paper for letters, envelopes, invitations, books, business cards, and packaging. The exhibition also offered them an opportunity to gain deeper insight into fine papers.
The exhibition demonstrates the versatility of Conqueror, featuring a wide range of creative projects by designers, printers and creatives worldwide, such as notebooks, coasters, the Naturalité book by Alain Ducasse or invitations from Ralph Lauren.
