2025 Theme.
Overlaps
Do you have something that truly captivates you—something so consuming that time, food, and even sleep fade into the background?
When passion reaches such an intense level, it generates extraordinary energy.
And when individual passions overlap, they amplify and resonate, eventually evolving into a force that reshapes the world.
The year 2025 marks the arrival of EXPO 2025 Osaka, Kansai, Japan.
What kind of chemical reactions will occur in this city, a global crossroads?
On the vibrant soil of Osaka, renowned for its unconventional spirit and unique sensitivity,
a new era of art and design is about to begin!
