SERENDIPITY - a new platform for buyers, users, manufacturers

In this age of sophisticated computerization heralded by the Internet, we can now all access and search for the same information no matter where in the world we are. Consumers are therefore able to capture what they want even quicker than before, and the gap between them, producers and distributors is closing. What the increasingly sophisticated consumers of today are interested in are not only product value (a latent Japanese resource) but also the philosophy of the creator, what they insist on, their design, and their sense. Based on the concept of “SERENDIPITY”, this “J STYLE+” event is a platform to introduce well designed Japanese products that bubble over with inspiration, and present to makers, buyers and consumers formats for new ways of living.

Grâce à internet, nous vivons dans une société informatisée où nous avons accès aux mêmes informations où que nous soyons. Chaque consommateur peut trouver rapidement ce qu’il recherche, réduisant à néant les cloisons entre fabricants, acheteurs et consommateurs.Les consommateurs, de plus en plus exigeants, s’intéressent non seulement à la valeur du produit mais aussi au design, à la philosophie, aux détails et au sens de l’esthétisme transmis par le fabricant.Conçu pour être cette plateforme, “J STYLE+” présente des produits japonais au design remarquable, très inspirés, et met en avant le concept de “ SERENDIPITY” afin d’instaurer une nouvelle forme de design pour la maison, née de la complicité entre fabricants, acheteurs et consommateurs.
