Tanseisha will launch the "Tanseisha Space Award 2025" (hereinafter referred to as the "Award") on Monday, July 7th.
The theme of this award is "A space that makes you want to go back again and again." There are various reasons why people feel like they want to go back to a space, such as a relaxing space, a stimulating space, a space where you can share the same feelings as the people who gather there, a functional and smart space where you can achieve your purpose, etc. We are widely accepting designs and ideas for spaces that make people want to go back and come again, regardless of whether they are individuals or corporations.
What began as the "Next Generation Store Idea Contest" in 2021 has been renamed the "Space Award" since last year. We are looking for ideas for spatial design, product design, and ideas not limited to stores, but also for Commercial Spaces and Public Spaces.

This award is a collaborative field where new talent and space creation professionals can meet and think together about potential and the shape of future spaces. We will invite Tanseisha's clients, such as commercial facilities, retail stores, and restaurants, as judges and, together with Tanseisha's designers, will review designs, ideas, and possibilities from multiple perspectives, creating an opportunity for a wide range of people to think about the creation of spaces of the future.
Tanseisha has continued to expand the field of spatial creation by leveraging its ability to read the times. By promoting open innovation together with clients, Tanseisha is challenging itself to create new spaces that can only be created as Comprehensive display business that handles the creation of a wide variety of spaces.
