Life X Design Autumn 2017
Last week we were at Tokyo Big Sight, for the Life X Design show. The exhibition was held from the 30 of August to the 2 September 2017 in the East hall 7th and 8th. It took us a whole afternoon to see everything, so many stands were available, all very interesting. This event was held in order to meet more professional demand in the theme of New Trends in Lifestyle Design for People and Living.

There were so many exhibitors, impossible to check everything that looked interesting. The products here are only a few of them I thought that can draw attention in overseas markets.
Retail prices shown are for the domestic market in Japan, roughly calculated to USD from the JPY price. Wholesale price is negotiable.
