Jean writes from Tokyo "it was a rather nice show, and felt much bigger than what I usually see during Tokyo Design Week. I concentrated only on Japanese design (cause that's my beat)". Not surprising then that the most interesting items on display were appliances, Plusminuszero's toaster, a Metaphys tea kettle called Cortina, lighting, TONERICO's tabletop teardrop lamp, Bunaco's veneer lamps, Lexon's new collection of desktop gadgets and to a lesser degree, new Domestic vinyl appliqués from 5.5 Designers.
