    DAILY YOMIURI article based on a lecture given by English designer Terrence Conran in Roppongi Hills last week. I’m just surprised that Habitat, the lifestyle store chain started by him, has yet to open any shops in Tokyo.

    This weekend is your last chance to catch the “Reactivity” exhibition at the ICC (and it’s a good one, according to Toe). Print out this page from Tokyo Art Beat and you can get a discount. I plan on going today or tomorrow.

    As part of the TDB event, there were a few installations at Parking 246, a temporary showplace where the Kinokuniya grocery store used to be. These pics were taken in a tent for an office furniture brand. Anyone could pick up some chalk and leave a message. Shots taken with the AU W21S mobile phone.

    A couple of shots of designs from De Fyra at the Idee shop in Aoyama. Shots taken with the AU W21S mobile phone. Update: This entry has been edited as I made the mistake of attributing the designs to Syjuntan.

    Toe has loads of pics up from her day checking out TDB events in Aoyama. We were probably at some of the same places at the same time. I’ll post my rundown of that day later. Today I was really tired and didn’t end going out, so missed out on the stuff happening at Roppongi,…

    Even with the rain (I was still shivering from being soaked this morning when I woke up), last night ended up being lots of fun. I met up with Jesper in Shibuya after work, and we walked to Daikanyama, stopping at a few places along the way. We first stopped at Collex Speakfor and Gallery…

    I am so thankful for the launch of Tokyo Art Beat. I’m using it pretty much exclusively to plan the things I want to check out during Designer’s Week, Designers Block, and Swedish Style.
