Australia Now
From September 27th to October 10th, 2024, we invite you to explore the 'Now' of Australian design at our exhibition-style pop-up at style department_ in Shibuya, Tokyo.
Australia's vast natural beauty and cultural diversity make it a hub for contemporary design. These rich creative resources lay the foundation for flexible thinking and experimental approaches, resulting in exceptional designers we are excited to introduce to you here in Tokyo.
Showcasing the work of twelve Australian designers, we will feature mirrors, lighting, and distinctive interior items. Alongside the exhibition, join us for special events, including a talk show and an afternoon of coffee and wine with Design Anthology. Experience the best of modern Australian craftsmanship at Japan’s first exhibition of its kind.
