The Tokyo International Gift Show Is a Design Industry Destination<br />
With over 2,500 companies displaying the latest in decorative accessories and moderndesign<br />
marvels, the Tokyo International Gift Show was a favorite stop this year for <strong>Dwell</strong><br />
editors. We were lucky enough to spend several days perusing the various halls, each<br />
filled to the brim with independent makers, large technology companies, and young,<br />
up-and-coming designers. The show takes place twice each year at Tokyo Big Sight, the<br />
incomparable exhibition center designed in 1996 that will be the future home of the 2020<br />
Summer Olympics. The Autumn Show, happening from September 2-4, <strong>2015</strong>, will<br />
welcome over 200,000 visitors—a powerful reminder of how influential the Japanese<br />
design industry continues to be on the world stage. Head online to see a selection of makers<br />
and objects we glimpsed in January <strong>2015</strong>, including these winsome soba choko, or small<br />
ceramic dipping cups by Maruhiro Inc., shown at left. dwell.com/japan-style-tokyo-<strong>2015</strong><br />
