Tokyo

2002 ‘The Heart of Design Still Beats’ at Spiral Building, central Tokyo, attracted the highest audience figures over 5 days of any British Council event staged in Tokyo.

By now we had a little more of a kilter in Tokyo.
‘The Heart of Design Still Beats’ at Spiral Building, central Tokyo, attracted the highest audience figures over 5 days of any British Council sponsored event staged in Japan. All the exhibitors came from the UK. We set up a cinema to preview showing Rajko Debeljevic’s anti war movie ‘Bake Bread not War’ with Junilda Ross’s dints for seats. There was furniture from Ansel & Rob Thompson, Charlie Davidson and Rob McLeod. The Oculas came over and there were tea chocolates from young designer of the year Natasha Chetiyawardana. The show was accompanied by the constant drilling from Flour’s interactive engraving facility, and we got to cover a lot of people in the popular designersblock tape.
