OVERVIEW
DesignTide Tokyo brings together independent designers through exhibitions, markets and conversations about objects and design processes. The dates shown refer to its 2025 programme, held across three weekends between 6 and 21 December.
About the Fair
DESIGNTIDE TOKYO is framed as an exchange of ideas rather than a conventional trade fair, with emphasis on individual creators, design processes and experimental prototypes. Its programme takes place in Tokyo and focuses on product design and related practices.
The most recent edition was held at Aoyama, Tokyo, from December 6 to 21, 2025. The 2025 programme included Class of 2025, a curated Main Exhibition and a creator-led Market. The Market presented small-batch products, prototypes, books and independent-label work, and the event returned in 2024 after a 12-year hiatus.
