On the second day of 100% Design Tokyo loads of visitors came queueing up at our exhibition space to get the exclusive SPOT ON WIEN – bag with the book/catalogue of SPOT ON WIEN – Flashing Austrian Design and Music and lots of information on Vienna. At times, the queue easily exceeded the 50 meters of length the exhibition space possesses. Amidst the photo lights flashing again and again, people had big fun, as they were surprised by the spontaneous photo shootings performed on site with the small “Diana Mini“ cams constantly in action by courtesy of Lomography. Many designers of the products shown within SPOT ON WIEN – Flashing Austrian Design and Music were also present ready for a talk or a small chat on their products.
As to the evening, the Austrian Ambassador in Tokyo Mrs. Jutta Stefan-Bastl cordially invited to a special soirée at the embassy starting with a classical chamber music concert and ending with an exquisite buffet where Austrian designers, manufacturers, VIP’s and the SPOT ON WIEN team came together. Without getting lost in translation, this Austrian night was concluded at the New York Bar of Tokyo’s Park Hyatt Hotel located on 52 floors above the tutti-frutti neon lights of downtown Shinjuku.
