Design Tide

Tokyo looks like a center of design at the moment as both 100% design and Design Tide has started from this weekend.

I went to the opening party of the Tide at Midtown Tokyo. The site was packed with guests, press and those who are somewhat in relation to the design scenes. What surprised me was that there were a lot guests from overseas to check out the Tokyo design situation.

The event seemed to start pretty well.

Brilliant installation display that may well not be taken well with this picture but for those who'd interesting in, pls go and check it out at Midtown Hall as it opens till next week.

Meetings in London

Although it has been a while ago, here are some shots from the meetings in London.
Meetings often turned into a discussion at the pub with a few pints.

Cheers!

What we discussed about, will soon to be able to share with you all.
It is going to be very interesting.

Streets in London around Covent Garden

この街の匂い、雰囲気、色、全部が久しぶりに行ったにも関わらず、ス〜っとはいってきたんだよね。青年期っていう時間は、人間を創る上ですごく大きいなと思う。僕の１２歳から２５歳までって、ここで創られたんです。

きっと、誰もがそうでしょ。自分の街に帰った時に感じる事。

だから、文化とか、ルーツとか、人間にとって必要な要素の一つなんだよね、きっと。

UK Tour 2008

Although it's been while ago, I went back to London for some meetings on our new project coming up.
As much as being so busy, I enjoyed so much of my time back in the city.



Some where in the air of Russia???
Got to be on British Airways as I used to work for them. Highly recommended.


About to land to London. Overview of the River Thames from the East side towards the centre.




One of our member of the project, Masaki and his gf, Maki-chan. Both are absolutely smooth and welcomed me.
Thanks a lot!



Nana-chan(right) and Masaki. Both have very critical roles on the project.

Will post more pics from London soon. And of course the content of the project. It is going to be pretty interesting.

STOCKIST 2008 @ Jiyu Gakuen

My friend, Mitsunori & Hiromi a.k.a, Bob Foundation, who actively works globally launched a paper brand called No. 62 last year. They took part in an exhibition called "Stockist" that took place in Jiyu Gakuen's Hall, an architect designed by Frank Loyd Wright.

The exhibition, or perhaps it's more so a trade show for those small but quality interior brands, was seemed to be very successful with a lot of people and the venue was pretty amazing as you can see above.
