Underlying Concept
Today, we live in an age that is constantly giving birth to new information and innovations, enhancing our lives with ever-increasing
diversity and variety. We at WORLD Co., Ltd. have always strived to stay ahead of the times in an untiring effort to bring people the very latest in mode and fashion styles. And now, in collaboration with talented creators who constitute the upcoming designers of our times, we are ready to introduce an entirely new, unprecedented concept of shop style to the world.

To achieve this, we present the "WORLD Space Creators Awards 2005," the purpose of which is to give participants the opportunity to create a new spatial design conceived to promote "Customer-to-shop Interaction." Creators from Japan and abroad are invited to propose original and innovative ideas unfettered by conventional approaches to style. This represents our first step in the process of making a "concept" a "true reality," achieved by joining hands with the forces of free, unrestricted creativity.

We at WORLD will provide the opportunity for creators who present outstanding ideas to advance their careers and will support their creative work by providing the means to make the concepts proposed into a reality.
