Tokyo Design Week
Posted by: Cane on 27th Oct 2010 in Creative Report
For a week starting on the 29th of this month, Tokyo hosts the 25th annual Tokyo Designers Week much of which takes place at Jingu Gaien, in the city’s Ayoama neighbourhood.
This year’s theme is the 'environment,’ but ‘environment’ not just in terms of ecology, but also our general surroundings and locale.
Across the centre you’ll find varying sizes and formats of stand to suit the different scales and types of exhibition. At the more compact end of the spectrum is the Cube Exhibition. Here the rising stars of the interior and product world each have a 1m² plinth to show-off what’s at the cutting-edge in Japan right now. For the more experienced exhibitors, there’s the Professional Exhibition where designers from across the world will be showing new work and concept models. Exhibitors here must come by recommendation, so expect a high standard.
Around the perimeter of the site, reused shipping containers form the Container Exhibition. The focus here is on creating experiences, so expect interaction and things to stimulate and engage all of all the senses.
Finally, lining all the streets of the Jingu Gaien Centre you’ll see the Student Exhibition. The theme for this year is Endangered Species. However, they’re not just thinking of pandas and leopards. As well as the endangered plant and animal species you’d expect, the students are expected to address the decline of traditional production and craft techniques. In the land of ukiyo-e woodblock printing, katana making and numerous types of laquerware and ceramics, this should be pretty fascinating!
Not long after the Designers Festival, across the second weekend of November is Design Festa in Tokyo. Held at Japan’s biggest exhibition space, Tokyo Big Sight on Odiaba Island, it has nearly 3,000 booths with exhibitors from across pacific Asia. From the selection of over 1300 exhibitors showcased online it looks like there’ll be something to suit all tastes in graphic art, craft, painting, illustration, photography, fashion, interiors and art.
