Your place to find answers to every question about decorative films.
At the showroom (CS Design Center) operated by Nakagawa Chemical, you can not only hold all our products in your hands, but also experience and simulate the possibilities of the materials. We hope you will freely choose materials and feel various inspirations. Our staff will be happy to assist you in every step of the CS-design process and help you realize your new direction and image.
What you can do at the showroom
Receive sample swatches and catalogs
We have B6 size sample swatches of almost all of our products available for you to take home as needed. We also provide sample books of each product on the spot. Please take a look at the colors, textures, and materials to see for yourself.
See texture in your hand
Visitors can freely hold about 1,000 items of our film materials in their hands. Each material is attached to a B5 size transparent acrylic board with the product information.
View "Combination Recipes"
Various expressions are possible with decorative films by combining materials and processing them differently. For example, using gloss and matte materials, or combining mirrors and translucent colors. Here you will find tips on how to use films in your designs.
See how light penetrates
In the sample zone, you can see how light from LED, fluorescent, and incandescent bulbs passes through each decorative film to get an idea of the finished product. Please try any combination of light source distance, overlap, transmittance, reflection, etc.

The CS Design Center is also a base for pursuing and disseminating the possibilities of CUTTING SHEET Design. Through our exhibitions, you can experience and learn about CS design.
