Day 56 - Tokyo Design Week


So last Tuesday (Day 50) I decided to make my way over to Tokyo Design Week at Meiji Jingu Gaien for a little sticky beak on what this country has to offer, the theme was 'Environment'...

I think the ideas were good, they had a container exhibition, displays from each university with student work (the best part of the day was meeting cute japanese designers who were very shy to show off their work!) a 'Cool Japan Conference' tent, and then inside the large tent was basically a retail store or trade show.  Lots of green walls, laser cut jewellery and bikes for sale.  I was a little disappointed....
Bike parking

Container Exhibition

Ikea container was one of the best!


Plastic bottles with water inside = sound wall
Container blue foam house = fragile
Student work, the little silicone pots felt so nice to hold
