- Tokyo Midtown Design Hub
Striving through the medium of “design,” to bring greater energy to Japan in the 21st century. The key points in creating designs with that degree of power include realizing “industries that value not only technological strength but design as well,” “business perspectives in designers” and “the cultivation of international designers.” The Design Hub vigorously addresses these vital issues, while acting as a creative focus in channeling thought into design. A vibrant new base, conceived to spread Japanese design throughout the world.
