100% Design Tokyo

100% Design Tokyo

I have decided to design my chair for the 100% Design Tokyo event. This event was established in London in 1995. It has become one of the world’s most influential contemporary interiors event. This design event is dedicated particularly to the latest and most innovative contemporary interior products. This event began in Tokyo in 2005 and is now considered to be one of Japans premier contemporary interiors event.

The scope of design that is shown at this event are:
manufactures
designers
wholesalers
distributors of modern contemporary furniture
lighting
kitchen
bathroom
fabrics & textiles
interior accessories
wall & floor coverings
handles & fittings
architectural products and
accessories & materials.

All the entries to this event are reviewed and assessed by a panel. This panel is made up of
leading architects
designers
retailers and
industry experts.

When entering a product into this event, if the designer/company have not entered a product within the last three years at ethier the Tokyo or the London event, it has to first go through an assessment. The entries are assessed on the originality and uniqueness of the design and the concept of the product. If it passes through this process, it can then be entered into the event.

I have chosen this event that my furniture piece is going to be designed for, because when researching the three events, I noticed that this event in particular focuses on Interior design. As this is the subject that I am studying at uni, I found it appropriate to use this event as the basis for my furniture piece and conceptual inspiration.
