This immersive design showcase at Japan House Los Angeles highlighted “TasteMaking LA” — the 18th annual Pacific Rim collaboration between Tama Art University (Tokyo, Japan) and ArtCenter. This December 2025 special exhibition explored how design and food culture can bridge people and traditions across continents, reimagining the rituals of dining through ten innovative student team projects that span from street food to fine dining, and from tableware and lighting to the social customs that shape how we share a meal.
