When a product is labelled as Made in Japan, it is often a promise of quality, and the consistent clarity, order, and precision of Japanese designs definitely ensure that the reputation is not exaggerated. Known for their minimalist, clean lines, the iconic styles of Japanese designs are admired and imitated all over the world. Truly standing at the forefront of establishing a national design identity, it is the prime example of culture-meets-design, mixing history, traditional art, and philosophy into contemporary designs.

With the spotlight on more than 40 local creatives behind all sorts of different projects in various fields, Made in Japan spans from brand identities to spatial design to illustrations and more, examining how variety is held together by the influence of a common culture.
