About SpacecurveTokyo-based Spacecurve is a venture capital and product development company.

Our mission is to cultivate products that truly excel in both, and drive their joyfulness to the max: in hardware, software, hospitality, and fashion.PSY LIVING, one of our flagship projects, designs and manufactures furniture bursting with the most exuberant life force of their kind – for example lamps so cute you wish they could speak, so lavish they could be the centerpiece of a K-pop music video, so dreamy they make you want to fly.
