One of the event highlights was the Young Designer Award, which recognises rising talent in the interior and design industries. This year’s award was presented to Mr Ryoji Takahashi of VITRO. As part of the prize, Mr Takahashi will be invited to exhibit at Ambiente 2026 – the world’s largest consumer goods trade fair, held annually in Frankfurt, Germany.
At the award ceremony, Mr Takahashi shared, “I created a form that expresses the beauty of light and water, with the support of engineers and other collaborators. Receiving this recognition is incredibly rewarding. The beauty of light transcends language, and I hope to share its appeal with people around the world at Ambiente.”
The next edition of Interior Lifestyle Tokyo will be held from 10–12 June 2026 at Tokyo Big Sight’s West Halls.
