Kidp seeks manufacturing innovation with design.
Smart Exhibition Space Solutions Using QR Systems.

Please explain this project.

The client of this project is Kidp, which oversees various projects to strengthen the nation’s design competitiveness.

For the purpose of co-prosperity with designers, HOHOHO commissioned a space for the exhibition of the “Design-led Manufacturing Innovation Center Parts Library,” which displays the technologies of manufacturing companies in Gyeongsangnam-do and Gyeonggi-do. 

The Design Promotion Agency wanted a solution to efficiently manage and view more than 1,000 technical components, and HOHOHO proposed a solution for exhibiting the Innovation Center Library based on his experience in various technology and smart solution projects.

What solutions have you proposed for exhibiting more than 1,000 exhibits?

Since we had to display many parts, we needed a solution that considered both managers and viewers. Therefore, we proposed a ‘Module QR System Exhibition Furniture’ solution that has both functions by combining module furniture and QR system.

Module QR system is given individual modules and QR codes for each display. It also allows users to check information on components by taking pictures of attached QR codes. 

Using the module features, managers can conveniently move exhibits if the location of the exhibits changes, and freely manage exhibition data by utilizing the advantages of QR codes. It made it easy for viewers to get the information that they wanted by using the QR system.


Please explain the User Scenario in the exhibition space.

User scenarios are largely divided into two. 

The first is to check the information by filming the QR code of the exhibits you want to know during the viewing, and the second is to check the location and information of the exhibits you want in advance at the kiosk.

We developed a kiosk-lighting interlocking system as a solution for the second scenario with a modular QR system solution, allowing us to locate the exhibits from afar.


The Gyeongnam Parts Library features reflective materials, and I wonder what the process was.


The Gyeongnam Parts Library is located in Changwon Industrial Complex. The exhibits consist of components and products of a manufacturing company located in Gyeongsangnam-do. We expressed the contrast of materials and the reflection of light under the concept of “Reflection” to take advantage of the wide and light-rich exhibition space.

The wood on the display shelves attached an LPM to the broad side and exposed the cross-section. And the cabinet at the bottom was finished with Woodstain, representing one wood material in three ways. The pillars supporting the weight of the furniture used metal to contrast wood.

In particular, the Gyeongnam Exhibition emphasized the concept by producing a metal kiosk as the main object of the concept Reflection.

What kind of system does the magnet signature of the Gyeonggi parts library have?

To efficiently distinguish more than 1,000 parts, the categories of parts were divided, and each category was colored. And each part has a unique number so that it can easily identify the location of the part. Using the characteristics of metal furniture, signage is all made of magnets, and it is easy to move and modify when changing the contents of the exhibition.
