Inspiration

Some things that are similar between Swedes and Japanese are that they like to eat raw fish and in both countries people have strong feelings for the nature. Furthermore what unties is the strong preference for an interior and industrial design, that are stylish, beautiful and functional. Scandinavian design is truly very popular in Japan, as Japanese design in Sweden. This weekend an extensive Design event took place http://www.designtide.jp/. Participating companies and designers are presented and linked to. You will guarantee find inspiring things!

However, as far as I could spot I didn't find any work from the Interaction design area. Unfortunately, since Tokyo would certainly be the right place to exhibit interesting, irresistible work from that area.

Interaction design is about designing within the digital and interactive area. The scope is to fulfil the intended target group’s needs. As best it should (could) even exceed user expectation by providing solutions and fulfil needs that the end users did not even now they had.
