What is ROMANCE?
For us, romance is the belief that design and creativity can change the world and make it a better place — this is the kind of romance that belongs to designers.
2025 is an era of “weirdness,” where everyone holds unique principles and personal values, making us all appear “weird” in each other’s eyes.
With this perspective, ROMANTIC MONSTERS creates monster-like characters to represent the diverse romantic consciousness of different individuals. It emphasizes the pursuit of romance itself — a force capable of breaking through bottlenecks — and arranges these monsters into the theme title, symbolizing how individual differences can, through complementarity and collaboration, be transformed into collective strength.
Through this visual language, we depict a social ecosystem built on diversity — one where romance becomes the driving force of life, and everyone strives in their own place, coexisting peacefully and respectfully with one another.
