BECOME A partner
A LIMITED-EDITION FORECAST OF CULTURE AND INDUSTRY
Research and design by Semi Permanent In partnership with /OvN Published by Formist Editions
Limited, thoughtful batches. Long-form inquiry and cultural forecasting. Cross-disciplinary perspectives. Designed to be held, revisited, and archived.
Future Of is deliberate, researched, and enduring.
A printed publication examining the forces shaping culture, industry, technology, climate, design, and collective life across Japan and the broader region.
We believe forecasting should be careful. Contextual. Responsible. Not trend-driven, but historically aware and future-literate.
Future Of is not a report. It is a record. A designed object carrying essays, interviews, visual research, speculative prompts, and considered provocation.
Future Of operates within the Tokyo Salone ecosystem as its editorial anchor.
Where Moments cultivates dialogue and Speculative Futures tests systems, Future Of distills insight. It gathers perspectives from our global alum community and regional leaders, translating live exchange into enduring form.
Our focus is clarity over noise.
Each edition centers on a defining theme, examined through multiple disciplines and geographies. The publication is produced in limited runs, emphasizing permanence over volume and intention over scale.
HOW IT IS MADE
Research and Design
Future Of is researched and designed by Semi Permanent in collaboration with /OvN. Together, we bring editorial rigor and graphic authorship into alignment, balancing clarity, restraint, and cultural nuance.
Publishing Partnership
Formist Editions serves as publishing partner, ensuring production quality, distribution integrity, and material longevity aligned with the ethos of the platform.
Limited Editions
Each release is produced in small, thoughtful batches. Designed to be collected, revisited, and archived.
Biannual Cadence
Launching in 2026 as an inaugural edition, Future Of will evolve into a twice-yearly publication, building continuity and depth across themes.
WITH GRATITUDE
Future Of is shaped through long-standing creative relationships.
Our collaboration with /OvN is built on decades of shared work. Members of the Semi Permanent team have partnered with OvN across Sony, PlayStation, Samsung, Meta, and Microsoft. These relationships were formed through global product launches, platform design, and cultural initiatives that required precision, trust, and creative alignment. Future Of continues that lineage in print form.
Formist Editions has been part of the Semi Permanent journey since the beginning, more than 23 years ago. Their belief in thoughtful publishing and independent cultural production has accompanied us from our earliest gatherings to this next chapter. Their stewardship ensures that each edition of Future Of is not only printed, but crafted with care and permanence.
We are grateful for partners who have grown alongside us, and who continue to shape the platform with integrity and shared conviction.
WHAT IT EXPLORES
Each edition engages with themes at the intersection of:
Design and architecture Climate and regenerative systems Technology, AI, and physical intelligence Mobility and infrastructure Gastronomy and cultural ritual Narrative culture and media Governance, policy, and creative economies
The intent is not prediction. It is orientation. A way to navigate complexity with care.
PART OF A LARGER ECOSYSTEM
Future Of lives within the year-round Tokyo Salone platform, alongside Moments, Nourish, Speculative Futures, Friends Of, Nightshift Shakedown, and Thirdspace Thirdweeks.
Conversations across the ecosystem inform each edition. What is spoken becomes written. What is examined becomes recorded. What is fleeting becomes lasting.
Partnering with tokyo salone
Tokyo Salone is seeking a small group of founding partners to help shape Japan’s first global, design-led cultural platform. Partnerships are structured as long-term collaborations focused on co-authorship, category leadership, and measurable cultural impact.
Founding partner conversations for 2026 are now underway. To explore partnership alignment, please contact:
Founding partner inquiry
The wait is part of the seduction
The inaugural edition launches in 2026. Subsequent volumes will follow biannually.
Print runs are intentionally limited.
