Japanese Design Today 100

The exhibition has been carried out thanks to the generous support of Japan Foundation

"Japanese Design Today 100” was first developed in 2004 and then toured the world for the following decade. Now we present the third edition of the exhibition, which again brings together superlative examples of Japanese design from a present-day perspective. The exhibition is organized according to thirteen categories among them - furniture, electronics, health, communication, daily life, tableware and cooking, transportation, architecture. The exhibition includes approximately 100 items, most of which are products released after 2000, but it also includes several masterpieces from earlier times in which we can trace the roots of contemporary Japanese design. From objects such as consumer products to intangible systems and services, the designs we use in our daily lives speak volumes about the evolution of our lifestyles and society. We hope this wide-ranging exhibition will convey not only the characteristics of Japanese design, but also the current state of Japanese culture.
