On Wednesday, July 21st, Tanseisha will launch the "Next Generation Store Idea Contest 2021" (hereinafter referred to as the "Contest"), an initiative to think about the new normal stores of the next era.
At a time when new-age keywords such as technology, digital, green energy and sustainability are poised to change the way society functions, this contest is based on the theme of "Let's imagine new-normal stores for the next era," and invites submissions from individuals and corporations alike for ideas for "next-generation stores" that are likely to become reality in the future.
Through this contest, Tanseisha hopes to create an opportunity for more people to think about new store creation, inviting Tanseisha's clients, such as select shops and restaurant chains, as judges, and exploring the possibility of realizing stores that incorporate excellent ideas together with Tanseisha's designers. Tanseisha has continued to expand the field of space creation with an eye for reading the times, and will promote open innovation to create next-generation stores together with its clients, aiming to foster a sense of anticipation for future spaces that can only be generated by Comprehensive display business that handles the creation of a wide variety of spaces.
