SET’s Japan pioneering work in branded QR Coding has resulted in Louis Vuitton commisioning a creative QR code (image below) to go with a new animation created for them by world famous artist Takeshi Murakami. Can anyone decode it? Please comment…

  1. I decoded it with i-nigma on a Nokia 6301. It reads as http://lvmonogram.jp/store

  2. Lindsay well done! I guess that the designers would have tested it with i-nigma since i-nigma is pre-installed by all of Japan’s major mobile manufacturers.

    Any other QR Code readers can or can’t cope?

  5. The guys at SET Japan emailed me a more recent version of the QR Code which is now above. This means any comments from now on will apply only to the new image.

  7. This code does not work on my iPhone using several leading QR Code readers. I suspect the error correction on the code is either not set high enough or is greater then what that size code with the awesome Takeshi Murakami art can handle (Note: for QR Code Readers with decoding software less capable then i-nigma.)

    i-nigma has some of the best on phone decoding software and most Japanese phones have high megapixel cameras with micro-focus running i-nigma so i’m sure this code would work throughout Japan as is.

  8. KAYWA reader on my E66 can decode fine.

  9. Have just been trying on the Blackberry Pearl with a few readers can can’t get it to decode.

    Huge fan of the general impetus behind this though, definitely makes you think what else might be possible…

  10. There’s another QR code and I have a feeling that it would give out the URL for the newest Murakami animation called Superflat First Love.

    Here’s the code:

    Could someone decode it?

  11. Bengt, I used my iPhone (Optiscan) and it worked, gave me a link.

    Do you have the picture in a better quality?

  12. @LELIE Sorry no I don’t, the picture is the one that SET Japan emailed me.

  13. That’s got to be the best QR code I’ve seen.
    Superb.
