The core of DESIGNTIDE TOKYO, TIDE EXHIBITION is a trade center where new creations and ideas are introduced and exhibited. This is the main exhibition venue for designers, manufacturers, buyers and journalists to gather and confront design head-on.

DESIGNTIDE TOKYO is a place to exhibit prototypes for new products, as well as products already on the market, using an installation format. Because customer response can also be directly observed, DESIGNTIDE TOKYO can be used as a tool for market research as well. In addition, through encounters with people working in various industries, DESIGNTIDE TOKYO will serve as a springboard for discovering new markets for products and spurring on new creative projects.

A place where new creations are exhibited and sold, and market research can be conducted. TIDE MARKET is also where visitors can actually get to pick up the designs and make purchases.

Buyers and manufacturers from all over the world will visit DESIGNTIDE TOKYO. Visitors will be able to make purchases while asking exhibiting creators about the ideas behind their work, tapping new markets for products.

An exhibition of works throughout the city of Tokyo, held at individual shops and galleries that will be connected through DESIGNTIDE TOKYO, forming a single exhibition.

Works will be showcased in shops and galleries in Aoyama, Harajuku, Shibuya, Roppongi and Marunouchi, with participation from both shops and individual designers renting their own space. Compared to the main venue, TIDE EXTENSION offers more freedom to design an installation that embodies your own unique vision.
