Milan 2012: it's Friday and Japan is hot on the agenda for today's edition of our daily TV show from Dezeen Studio, as we chat to architect and Pecha Kucha founder Mark Dytham about the design scene in Tokyo and our guest journalist Elle Decoration UK editor Michelle Ogundehin tips Japanese design and manufacturing as the hot story at Milan this year. Ogundehin also tells us about the campaign the magazine is launching to protect the rights of UK designers, which you can find out more about here.
The episode also features new French brand design brand La Chance, who have created one colourful and one sober version of each piece in their inaugural collection, an interview with New York designer Dror about the luggage collection he's presenting and of course our daily weather report.
