Every year, I went to the fall exhibition.
First, "SITE" was held in Nihonbashi.
Unusually, when I went out early in the morning, it was incredibly crowded.
The venue itself is small, making it difficult to watch the show in a relaxed manner.
The voices lamenting that the economy is not doing well seem like lies.
It was a very exciting and exciting space.
It was so crowded that I had to quickly greet and talk business with several manufacturers that I do business with.
On to the next venue.
IOFT, Asia's largest international exhibition, is held every year at Big Sight.
It's far away, isn't it?
When it first started, the venue was so large that you couldn't see it all in one day, and there were so many people.
Over the past few years, exhibiting manufacturers have been increasingly holding events at other venues (SITE is one of them).
It is shrinking year by year.
Although the venue was smaller this year, it seemed to have a good turnout.
Although it is very troublesome to have separate exhibition venues,
IOFT is a good size and I can look around quickly, which reduces my fatigue.
Well, I took a quick look at the two main exhibitions and got a feel for next year's trends.
In the classic style, it seems that thick cells will be overshadowed and slender combinations will become mainstream.
Also, the metal Boston stood out.
Overall, there are many slim and delicate types, and minimally made models seem to be the mainstream.
In addition to classic items, there was a trend towards minimal materials and more colorful items.
Socially, I think there is an atmosphere of good economic conditions.
Also, this is a bad habit in this industry.
There are too many plagiarisms, like "Learn from the right."
The uniqueness and identity of each manufacturer is fading year by year,
Everything is the same and there is no freshness.
It's not like I don't understand why it's selling so well...
Although,
New products and colors will be arriving from next month.
I'm looking forward to it. At the same time, the bills are scary.
