A Venue to Enjoy Situations Born from the Fusion of Encounters and Exchange
The “BATOMA TRADESHOW,” a joint exhibition of design, art, and products previously held at Laforet Harajuku and Omotesando Hills, and “BATOMA information,” an interior information dissemination event, have been consolidated and expanded beneath Tokyo Tower.
“The Space Between vol.09” is renewed as a “market where creative sensibilities can be encountered,” by combining various unique characteristics under the theme of “FUSION.”
Within the venue, you can experience new corporate projects and the latest information born from the combination of two distinct entities. This includes an installation titled “IKILU” by creative director Aki Tomura, and at “BATOMA information,” popular interior shops like IDÉE, ACTUS, and The Conran Shop will present lifestyle proposals alongside manufacturers.
A Joint Exhibition Where You Can Speak Directly with Manufacturers
Furthermore, a new sensory market for “adults” has emerged, a collaboration between the gallery space “ROCKET,” which disseminates art culture, and “The Space Between.” This “MARKET” will feature ZINEs and unique雑貨 created by artists, as well as art pieces. It will also offer visually appealing food and drinks, including single-origin coffee from the popular “NOZY COFFEE,” craft beer from the mobile vendor “Tokyo Beer Porter,” and a limited-edition game meat burger from “SØHOLM,” the bistro operated by interior shop ACTUS.
The joint exhibition “TRADESHOW,” featuring approximately 55 diverse brands across four categories—KITCHEN, LOVE&GIFT, HOME&DESIGN, and DECORATION—will offer a wide array of interior items. These include tableware and kitchen tools to adorn your table, groceries with carefully considered packaging, decorative items to enhance your space, and unique雑貨 perfect for gifts. Most booths will offer items for sale, allowing you to shop while learning about the production background directly from manufacturers and creators, insights you wouldn't normally hear.
Let's enjoy encountering the “essence of things” at this new market, which stimulates individual sensibilities and allows us to experience lifestyle from various perspectives.
