What is your favorite neighborhood to explore in Tokyo? The last time that I was in Tokyo, I discovered the work of two LOEWE Prize finalists, ARKO and Koichi Io, to whom I hope to introduce the Tokyo Insider Journey group. GG: My list is endless…but my current favorites are the young architect Junya Ishigami and, of course, anything by Tadao Ando and Kengo Kuma. Who are some of your favorite Japanese designers, artists or artisans? GG: Even though you can find this in other places, I never go to Tokyo without stocking up on all things Hello Kitty and friends. GG: SOMEWHERE TOKYO, a tiny but perfect design gallery, and Perrotin, who represents Takashi Murakami and my favorite, KAWS!įavorite item you’ve brought back from Tokyo? Also, I always go to the Takashimaya Department store for gifts-and anything else! It is the Japanese Harrods.ĭo you have any favorite galleries in Tokyo? GG: I always find it fun to take a peek into the train stations, just to get a glimpse of real Tokyo life. GG: Anything with tofu…fried, cold, hot, with skin, syrupy.Īny places that you always make time for in Tokyo? I am also thrilled to share a few incredible studio visits with artists and craftsmen with the group in May-though I cannot announce who they will be just yet!Ī typical Japanese breakfast at the Hoshinoya Tokyo hotel I am just as excited to be eating shaved ice with matcha as I am to be going to the Mori Museum, where we will be lucky enough to be there for the STARS: Six Contemporary Artists from Japan to the World show, featuring Takashi Murakami, Yayoi Kusama and Hiroshi Sugimoto. Everything is exciting, for all the senses. What tours and visits are you most excited for on the upcoming Insider Journey to Tokyo? A trip to Tokyo is a journey to another time, both past and future. There are throbbing neon lights and paper lanterns. You are confronted with a hyper-urban landscape and historical buildings-all things cutting-edge in terms of technology, design, architecture and fashion-and at the same time, you are witnessing the beauty of ladies in traditional kimonos, wearing wooden shoes. GG: Tokyo presents a constant juxtaposition of tradition with the future. What makes Tokyo unique in terms of design, art and architecture?

Discovering the Hagia Sophia at night in Istanbul or wandering the gardens of Marrakech with these fellow travelers are experiences that I will treasure forever. Everyone has a story and a unique reason for joining the trips, and every single person I have traveled with has made a huge impression on me.

GAY GASSMANN: We all travel for different reasons-sometimes it’s for business and, hopefully, always full of pleasure-but the one thing I have learned about AD x Indagare trips is that the experience really is all about the people. What has surprised you about the experience of traveling with a group of fellow design lovers? This is your second year of hosting AD x Indagare Insider Journeys.
