We’re excited to announce a small, intimate meetup taking place on Tuesday, May 16th, in Tokyo. This event offers a unique opportunity to chat about design while enjoying some delicious sushi with members from Manyone, a Danish strategic design firm we interviewed back in March.

This meetup is a free event, but please note that space is limited to just 20 participants. In the case of an overwhelming response, we’ll hold a lottery to select attendees. We can’t wait to see many of you there and dive into some engaging design discussions!

Secure your spot now and get ready for a fantastic evening filled with design inspiration and tasty sushi. Don’t miss out on this exclusive gathering of creative minds!

Overview

Spectrum Tokyo is a community that wishes to bring the global design scene closer to the Japanese locals. But not only learning from overseas, we also work to reveal the local Japanese design scene to the world at the same time.

And what brings the two more closer? SUSHI.

We are holding a small cozy meetup over sushi and drinks at our office with a Danish strategic design firm “Manyone”. The purpose is to exchange insights from both global and local design scenes.

Two partners from Manyone will briefly introduce Manyone, share their strategic methodology and experiences in working with organizations to drive change by design.

But this is not a seminar, so after a brief introduction, we will break out and mingle over sushi and drinks. The two from Manyone is also eager to know about the local Japanese design scene in general, so please feel free to share about what you do in general.

We will have a professional sushi chef and he will make some sushi of your choice. We hope that you come relaxed, get to know each other, and enjoy the conversation.
