COMMITTEE
STATEMENT
DESIGNTIDE TOKYO is
built on three core principles:
・Design as a force for transformation
・Respect for the autonomy, diversity, and processes of creators
・A commitment to cultural continuity and future possibilities in design
We believe that design is not just about function or decoration-it’s about shaping ideas, building relationships with society, and driving change. Design lives in both the outcomes and the processes behind them: the questions asked, the thinking involved, and the ways in which creators engage with the world.
We value the individuality and independence of each designer, and see diversity as a source of innovation. By bringing together creators across generations, disciplines, and borders, DESIGNTIDE TOKYO creates a space for meaningful dialogue about the future of design.
In today’s fragmented landscape—where no single trend defines the era, it’s more important than ever to preserve and evolve upon the creative legacies that have shaped the design world. DESIGNTIDE TOKYO is a platform for rediscovering the stories and contexts behind beautiful forms—and for renewing our collective imagination about what design can be.
