The Origin of Lifree

The brand name, Lifree, comes from our aspiration of freedom for Life - life free from pain and worry. Heart shaped logo symbolizes this aspiration. The purple line on the left represents the will to live of the care receiver, and the pink line on the right represents the care giver supporting with a warm heart. Red represents a life full of love, blue represents freedom, and white represents equality and normalization.
