100% Design Tokyo 2009
October 30–November 03
Jingu-Gaien, 2-3, Kasumigaoka-cho, Shinjuku-Ku Tokyo, Japan 160-0013
Across the Pacific, the 5th annual 100% Design Tokyo kicks off Saturday and runs through Tuesday. The event is an offshoot of 100% Design in London, which began in 1995 to highlight new products and designers, and debuted in Japan in 2005 with over 67,000 attendees and 184 exhibitors. This year’s show includes another collaboration between Dezeen and Design Association, in which the two groups held a competition for the chance for five designers to win exhibition space at the event’s Container Ground. The weekend event also includes work from students from nearly 50 universities and shops in which to pick up souvenirs. Tickets are 2,000 JPY, or about $22, per person and can be purchased on site, but you can save 500 JPY (or about $5.50) if you pick up a discount coupon in select stores in Toyko.
