TAIPEI, Oct. 27, 2022 /PRNewswire=KYODO JBN/ --

With Tokyo as its stage, DESIGNART Tokyo is held every fall since 2017, and

gathers diverse projects of design, art, interior decoration, and fashion, from

all around the world to be showcased in different spaces within the city,

realizing the concept of city as exhibition venue. With the theme of "Into the

Emotions," this year's exhibition will open from October 21 to 30. During the

10-day exhibition period, DESIGNART Tokyo will guide people with design and art

to wander and weave through the city, excavating different sentiments and

experiences through each and every encounter.

Taiwan Design Research Institute (TDRI) has received a special invitation from

the organizer to present Taiwan's special project on circular design, "the

SP!RAL," in response to the main exhibition venue's curatorial theme: "Next

Circulation: Sustainability & Technology," exhibiting seven Taiwanese brands of

circular design at the main venue, which include: "CRYSTIN," a collaboration

between W Glass Project and Hsiang Han Design that displays the beauty of glass

through recycling technology; the coat made by Fenko Catalysis Chamber from

100% paper yarn that defies all imaginations; the flexible furniture of

honeycomb structure developed by The Young Square; lifestyle products woven by

Essence Design & Craft using bamboo; the "Hibang Circular Glasses" produced by

Duolog Design using the recycled nylon from Taiwan's fishing nets; Miniwiz's

multifunctional speaker of recycled and reproduced materials using the world's

first offline waste recycling system, "TRASHPRESSO"; and TPCreative's circular

coasters made from wastes of electricity equipment. All the featured products

combine sustainable and circular philosophy with brand spirit and manufacturing

technology to realize creative charms and practical values in diverse aspects

of daily life.

Based on Taiwan's design philosophy and perspective, the special project has a

vision of "creating circulation that spirals from Taiwan to the world." Through

this exhibition, the power of Taiwanese circular design will be put on full

display, allowing more people to understand how Taiwan realizes circular

philosophy in daily life, ultimately making contribution to the world. Also,

this exhibition brings designers from different countries together, where they

can exchange and interact through design. TDRI also looks to establish a

friendly relationship with DESIGNART to facilitate future collaboration on the

"Asia Design Relation" tour, connecting Asian design and jointly striving to

expand our influences.
