100% Design Tokyo 2009 – Part I - Yanko Design

The 100% Design Exhibitions are a great time to mingle with the cream of the Blueprint Industry and I really had a great time covering the Tokyo Edition. The theme this year was "Dearest Green" and the Exhibitors did a great chore interpreting and weaving in the sentiments into their designs. The theme was well reflected in products made using alternative energy sources and natural materials. In short everything looked dark-green too, I hateful the color dark-green!

Let's kick off this coverage with the Cube Exhibition, which is a brand new add-on to the 100% Tokyo. This nook really showcased works of young designers who brought to life the Love Greenish Concept.

TOHO-Leo Corp and plant designer Harumi Suwa of Atelier Yukiyanagi worked with forty-five talented designers to recreate the green-magic! The dominant installation was this 2.2 chiliad-squared cube that with a planted green façade. This Vertical Garden included beauties similar Calathea and Peperomia.

Many Exhibitors brought out their innovations and sparked debates on the real fundamentalism of Eco or Greenish Concepts.

In the next coverage expect the 100% Café by Subway!
