TOKYO MIDTOWN DESIGN LIVE is…
A design event that makes
everyday life more fun.
LIVE stands for life, for living, and for living your best life. DESIGN is the sum of our actions to connect ourselves to the wider world, and to making those connections as fresh, inspiring, and comfortable as we can.
TOKYO MIDTOWN DESIGN LIVE is a forum to awaken the design potential in everything around us. The gentle everyday moments which surround us suddenly stand up and announce that they are anything but ordinary.
2025 THEME
The theme of TOKYO MIDTOWN DESIGN LIVE 2025 is Shake, Switch-up, Activate.
A diverse array of designs, unbound by convention or trends, will gather across Tokyo Midtown’s Grass Square and throughout the Tokyo Midtown complex. These Shake, Switch-up, and Activate initiatives are designed to spark positive inspirations in everyone’s senses, energizing the way we engage with everyday life.
In doing so, they embody the essence of LIVE—the vitality of life itself, encouraging change, movement, and constant evolution.

MAIN PROGRAM
DESIGN LIVE EXHIBITION
10/10 Fri - 11/5 Wed. *Grass Square is cancelled in the event of rain.
At this year’s TOKYO MIDTOWN DESIGN LIVE EXHIBITION, 27 participants are exploring the theme Shake, Switch-up, Activate.
Of course design supports societies functioning, enhances daily life, and elevates the everyday—but it also crucially carries the mission of challenging conventional values, and fostering critical observation of the world around us too. Some works shake things up boldly, others do so gently. Take a moment to feel the messages behind each unique expression, and let yourself reflect on what a new and better of everyday could look like.
