designtide 2009

知り合いがdesigntideにブースを出しているというので、文化の日にミッドタウンに行った。若い人たちでとても盛況だったのには驚いた。出展側も若手の小さなグループが多いのか、小さなコマに1-2の作品の展示しているところが多かった。家具に注目して見て回ったが、どれもそこそこ品の良いデザインであるものの、何か突き抜けるような斬新な作品は見当たらなかった。





A friend of mine had a booth in Designtide 2009, and I went to Tokyo Midtown on Culture Day to see the exhibition. I was a bit surprised that the place was packed with young people, and most exhibitors displayed 1 or 2 products in their rather limited space. I guessed it indicated that the designers to the large extent were young and in small organizations. I cruised focusing on the furniture, and all looked refined and well-behaved, but I did not encounter with something aggressively radical.
