Felissimo Design House
New York, NY, USA

From Murakami to Hello Kitty, sushi to sake bars, and anime to video games, Japan’s influence has become more and more visible in arts, design, food, style, and popular culture. But there is so much more to discover—as Japan C, a groundbreaking showcase of all things Japanese, will prove.

The 11-week festival of contemporary Japanese culture is set to take over the historic Felissimo Design House in midtown Manhattan. Spanning home and fashion accessories to gadgets, food, beauty and pop-culture products, Japan C will be part design exhibition, part bazaar, part trade fair, highlighting over 70 diverse Japanese firms who will be presenting and demonstrating their wares.

Included in the exhibition is Maruni Wood Industry Inc, they will feature furniture from their Traditional series and Nextmaruni collection. Curated by Tobias Wong and Joseé Lepage, the exhibition is a mixture of traditional and eclectic works.
