Hosted by the Japan Institute of Design Promotion (JDP), the 33rd World Design Assembly will be held in Tokyo (Japan) from 27-29 October 2023. Under the theme of ‘Design Beyond’, the event will explore the evolution of design and its intersection with humanity, technology and the environment.
In line with the theme, the event’s branding was developed by famed Japanese designer Masaaki Hiromura, who also designed the official pictograms for the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games. Formed by overlapping multiple coloured surfaces, the logo symbolizes the integration of diverse knowledge within a singular ecosystem.
Tokyo promises to deliver an engaging WDA programme, which will include WDO’s general assembly, a one-day research and education forum and a one-day design conference.
