Case
Change of identity, from Syrup Helsinki to Kokoro & Moi.
“Kokoro” is japanese for Heart/Mind, “Moi” french for Me and finnish for Hello/Bye. The name reflects our philosophy in design: when you connect ideas that haven´t been seen together before you can create something unique and new. You have also a pattern for this which is 1+1=3. Usually it´s even more.
