Neco

Neco is a lucky cat gashapon figurine made from recycled ocean waste, perfectly combining the traditional 'beckoning' gesture of fortune with the shape of ocean buoys, conveying the warm belief of 'turning bad luck into good luck'. Each Neco comes from discarded ocean plastic that, after reprocessing, returns to people's hands in a light, swaying posture—as if bad luck is gently pushed away and good luck keeps beckoning. Neco embodies the Retwist spirit of 'not just recycling, but revival'—waste that once floated at sea has now become a messenger of hope. When we turn the gashapon and watch it gently sway, it seems to tell us that 'forgotten things can always find their value again in new ways'. Through design, environmental protection becomes more than just a slogan. Neco invites everyone to participate in sustainable action in a relaxed way, starting with collecting a gashapon figurine and rethinking our relationship with the ocean.
