KOUBOU is a generator that creates a structure for the first time in Abel’s history.
Just like a flash of light, KOUBOU sends stainless steel plates with “Abel Black” applied on them into a structure in a flash at all, just as it is described as “a flash of light.
The light leaking from the slit of KOUBOU is the radiance of the wisdom and labor of the team that created “Abel Black”.
The light is captured by “Abel Black” and becomes a structure of light with mass, creating a new experience.

KOUBOUはアベルの歴史の中で初めて、構造体を作り出す生成装置である。
光がぴかっと一瞬光るがごとく、事が急激に変化する様を「光芒一閃(こうぼういっせん)」と形容されるように、
KOUBOUはアベルブラックが施されたステンレス板を見る見るうちに構造体へと送り出してゆく。
KOUBOUの隙間から漏れ出す光はアベルブラックを作り上げてきたチームの知恵と労力の輝きである。
その光はアベルブラックに取り込まれ、質量をもった光の構造体となり、新たな体験を作り出す。








アベル株式会社の“Abel Black”は、ステンレスそのものが黒く発色する独自の発色技術です。精密機器から車両外装、建築資材、アートの領域に至るまで様々な用途で高い評価を受けています。“Abel Black”は漆黒とも形容されますが、漆黒よりも深く、見るものの意識の全てを引き込み魅了します。

ABEL BLACK is a stainless that darkens on its own. Developed by ABEL Co., Ltd. In Osaka, Japan, with over fifty years of technical development, this material achieves a combination of authentic metal texture and rich color that traditional paints and plating cannot provide. It is employed in high-end building materials, car exteriors, and design elements.
