Background of development

When watching sports games, beverages and food are sold at the stadium, but there is no place to put them when there are only chairs in the seats.

One baseball fan with such a problem learned about Wakai Sangyo on TV and brought in a prototype.

Employees also offered specific opinions, such as "I often leave my drink at my feet" and "I will not buy food that cannot be eaten with one hand," and the company decided to develop the product with an eye toward mass production.

What is Kneeble?

A stadium where people want to enjoy both drinks and food, but there are only chairs.

Kneeble is a mini-sized table that can be used on one's lap to solve such problems.

Its compact design prevents it from interfering with neighboring seats, and when folded up, it is about the size of a notebook, making it easy to carry around.

It is useful not only for watching sports, but also for outdoor activities and events.

3. When folded, it is about the size of a notebook!

We chose a lightweight, foldable paper material for ease of transport.

It is designed to be about the size of a notebook, so it can easily fit in the cracks of a bag, making it easy to carry around.

4. Local product from planning to manufacturing in Higashiosaka City

Paper cutting and folding were done with the full cooperation of a local company specializing in Higashi-Osaka City.

High precision is required for the depth of the fold line and the position of the cut, as even the slightest error can greatly affect the quality. After repeated prototyping, the optimum shape and folding were achieved.

Kneeble is filled with the ideas and technologies of Higashi-Osaka City, a manufacturing town.
