VERDY and PARCO Launch Letter-Writing Project at Shinsaibashi PARCO in Osaka
Graphic designer VERDY has collaborated with PARCO to launch Verdy's Postal Service, which debuted at Shinsaibashi PARCO in Osaka on September 18, 2026. This initiative showcases a unique mailbox crafted by VERDY along with various letter-themed products, enabling guests to compose and send letters right there. PARCO encourages people to rethink the time spent on traditional letter writing amidst the prevalence of digital communication. The mailbox design fosters interaction by showing a destination, while the writing space invites participation. The goal is to facilitate personal connections through letters, integrating the artist's creations into everyday life. Visitors should verify current store arrangements, as a timed lottery was implemented exclusively for the opening weekend of September 18–20.
