This marks the 4th year that DESIGNTIDE TOKYO is being held．This year, Tokyo Midtown Hall will be used as the main venue for the event. DESIGNTIDE TOKYO is a trade show where designers across a variety of fields – from interior and product design, architecture, graphic design, textiles, fashion and art - can congregate and exhibit work from serious design practices that make up the unique mix in Tokyo.

This edition of DESIGNTIDE TOKYO will be an opportunity to reconsider design as a concept and way of thinking that anyone can share and participate in. DESIGNTIDE TOKYO will be a design-oriented event that gathers creators and artists with a sincere passion for design, linking design-related creative talents, manufacturers, journalists and buyers from all over the world, connecting them to people and their everyday lives and spreading the word about their design activities.
