Fuorisalone.jp - a platform that shares the identity and know-how of Fuorisalone.it - was created to communicate the best Japanese design, its creativity and lifestyle with the backdrop of its key cities, Tokyo and Osaka.
It promotes the best Japanese design on show in Milan during the design week, connecting the design community to form a single network, creating a cultural and commercial bridge between the two worlds.

Il progetto è nato in occasione del primo evento di Fuorisalone in Giappone - ad Osaka nell’ottobre del 2019 - da nome Design Link, un Festival nato dalla collaborazione con Daimaru, il più grande Department Store del Giappone.
La prima fase del progetto ha visto la creazione di un database di contatti di designer e aziende giapponesi legati alla Milano Design Week al fine di definire il contesto di riferimento e individuare i suoi protagonisti. In occasione delle quattro edizioni di Fuorisalone proposte nel 2020 e 2021, nonostante la pandemia, Fuorisalone ha promosso e raccontato sui suoi canali queste realtà dando inizio alla promozione del progetto.

L’obiettivo a medio termine per Fuorisalone.Jp, una volta superata definitivamente la crisi pandemica, è diventare un punto di riferimento, una community organizzata intorno al mondo del design giapponese in grado di creare opportunità strategiche e commerciali, in vista dei grandi eventi del futuro.
