Focusing on the Uniqueness and Passion of Taiwanese Design
Taiwan, with its rich cultural heritage and diversity, produces distinct creative outputs that have garnered high praise in international design awards such as IDEA, G Mark, red dot, and iF. The "#FRESHTAIWAN_TOKYO" event, launching August 31st, offers a chance to experience the current momentum and spirit of Taiwanese design firsthand.
The "FRESH TAIWAN" initiative, featured in the event's name, was launched in 2012 by Taiwan's Ministry of Culture (equivalent to Japan's Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology) to promote the nation's creative industries. It serves as a platform, selecting Taiwanese brands based on culture, originality, and business potential. The project is currently managed by the Taiwan Design Center.
"#FRESHTAIWAN_TOKYO" will exhibit and sell products from ten brands selected under the "FRESH TAIWAN" program. All participating brands were established less than five years ago, representing the cutting edge of Taiwanese design. We invite you to experience their vibrant energy at the venue.
