What is IXON's Chinese name?
IXON's Chinese name is made up of two characters: 思 (Cantonese: si1; Mandarin: si1), which means 'thinking' or 'ideas', and 創 (Cantonese: cong3; Mandarin: chuang4), which means 'to find' or 'to create'.
The name carries the aspiration of the company's two founders — to pursue ideas that could revolutionize the way humans cook, eat and live. It is also a wordplay of the company's motto in Japanese: 思いもよらない未来を創る (omoi mo yoranai mirai wo tsukuru), which in English means 'creating the unforeseeable future'.
「思」,可解作思考、思想和思維。「創」,可解作創造、創新和創意。
「思創」這名字,反映了公司兩位創辦人的抱負——就是透過創新科技,大大改善人類烹調、飲食和生活模式。「思創」這名字,亦是由公司日語座右銘「思いもよらない未来を創る」的開始和結尾所組成,中文可解作「創造意想不到的未來」。
