With Tokyo once again in the grips of Autumn, it is time for the third Design Tide Exhibition, which this year has its main site in the auditorium next to the National Stadium. This historic complex was constructed for the 1964 Olympics and now 40 years on it will play host to a jamboree of design. The exhibition will show work from the fields of interior, products, graphics, fashion and art.
The basic theme for this year’s DesignTide is going to be “PLAY.” Like for Dainippon Type Organization experimental typography performers who disarticulate or combine Japanese characters and alphabets into unique new typography.
Furthermore serious play is not a paradox when it comes to design. “PLAY”is what gives birth to transformations that transcend the imagination, and heartful encounters with new acquaintances. DesignTide will be there, with a field of design that makes spectators want to come out and be “PLAY”ers.

Moritz Waldemeyer Pong Table is a dining table design that celebrates the early innovators in the field of personal computers and computer games. The table is made of corian and it has thousands of LEDs integrated in the table surface. Activated by two track pads it recreates the classic “Pong” game. When the game is not in use, none of the technology is visible just leaving the clean minimalist lines of the dining table.
