VENUE

AXIS Building B1F-B111

AXIS Design Center was opened on September, 1981 in Iigura-Katamachi, Roppongi, Tokyo. It was part of the first design project led by the private sector and is popularly known as the “AXIS building.” It is also the center of AXIS Inc. which started various activities through Design Magazine AXIS and AXIS Gallery as a “medium to promote design and lifestyles,” and inside the building, directly managed stores such as Living Motif and Le Garage and stores with design mindsets come together. We celebrated our 40th anniversary in 2021, and with the knowledge we have accumulated over many years, we continue to question how design can be significant for society.
