The Korea Institute of Design Promotion (KIDP) announced on June 15 that, for the first time, it operated the "Korea Design (DESIGN KOREA) Pavilion" at "Interior Lifestyle Tokyo," held in Tokyo, Japan, from June 10 to June 12.

This year's Korea Design Pavilion featured five selected companies in the consumer lifestyle goods sector—Guber, Buntkaki, Moseori, Youngleeyounglee, and Pointity—each demonstrating the style and competitiveness of Korean design across various categories, including furniture, home accessories, and stationery, with strong potential for overseas market expansion and exports.

The Korea Design Pavilion was set up in the "Design Things (West Hall 2)" zone of the exhibition hall, covering an area of 36 square meters, and was organized so that visitors could view the products of all five participating companies at a glance. During the exhibition, approximately 670 buyers visited, and 275 business consultations took place, facilitating active exchanges with Japanese buyers and distribution partners.

KIDP plans to continue supporting follow-up negotiations based on the business consultation outcomes achieved during this exhibition.

Kang Yoonjoo, President of KIDP, stated, "We will actively support domestic design companies so that they can discover new business opportunities at the Korea Design Pavilion during Maison & Objet in France this September."
