FOCUSED ISSUES by GOOD DESIGN AWARD










I created graphic designs for the FOCUSED ISSUES 2024 exhibition at Tokyo Midtown Design HUB. FOCUSED ISSUES is a part of the biggest Japanese design award (GOOD DESIGN AWARD) and it aims to put a spotlight on social issues. The key visual represents this years' theme "Small Step, Design Leaps".
It was interesting to see that juries often mentioned the importance of planet-centred and Pluriverse (Arturo Escobar's term) mindset. It is exciting to see this kind of trend is occurring in Japanese design industry. It was pleasure to get to know inspiring projects and work with an amazing team.

特に興味深かったのはFOCUSED ISSUESの審査員たちが非人間中心主義や多元世界(アルトゥーロ・エスコバルの言葉)の考え方の重要性にしばしば言及していたことです。このような傾向が日本のデザイン界で起きていることに、前向きな気持ちになりました。日本やアジアで起こっている面白いプロジェクトを知れたことはもちろん、幅広い分野で活躍する審査員たち、空間デザイナーの西尾健史さんなどの素晴らしいチームと仕事ができたことを嬉しく思います。
