the participating designers sold
‘design-originals’ (limited series and / or
prototypes of their latest works).
visitors had the opportunity to purchase
intelligent, useful and quirky items priced from
a range of ¥1000 to $15, 000.

from metal to ceramics, glass to fabrics,
to recycled materials, with over 100 beautiful
objects on sale the mart achieved a good
compromise between creativity and production.

in this initiative, the designers were personally
presenting their wares, along with, various-
samples and a portfolio.
the - designboom tokyo mart 06 - was an
unprecedented opportunity to meet the young
avant-garde and become familiar with their work.
