CIPANGO Exhibits at Surface Design Show!

From February 7- 9, CIPANGO participated in the Surface Design Show, the UK’s leading event for exploring the best in surface material innovation. Surface, held annually at London’s prestigious Business Design Centre, brings together architects, designers, and manufacturers from around the world to showcase the latest products, materials, and design solutions in these industries. 

As first-time exhibitors, CIPANGO was delighted to present innovative and beautiful products from several of our creative partners, with a special emphasis on designs and materials hailing from Kyoto.  As Surface’s only exhibitor from Japan, we were thrilled to bring new and quintessentially Japanese products and materials to the UK and European market.  At Surface, we connected with a wide range of industry professionals and are excited to nurture these potential new business partnerships and continue expanding our global community.  

Surface Design Show, with its strong approach to materiality and a desire to balance sustainability with innovative materials, was a highly productive and synergistic event for CIPANGO. We look forward to attending again next year. Thank you to the organizers and all those who stopped by our booth.
