BECOME A partner
AN INQUIRY INTO WHAT COMES NEXT
Future Of is deliberate, researched, and enduring.
Research and design by Semi Permanent
In partnership with /OvN
Published by Formist Editions
A publication examining the cultural, technological, and environmental forces shaping the decades ahead.
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.
Each edition is produced in limited runs, designed to be held, revisited, and archived.
THE ROLE OF FUTURE OF
Within the Tokyo Salone cultural infrastructure, Future Of serves as the platform’s editorial anchor.
Where Moments cultivates dialogue and Speculative Futures examines emerging systems, Future Of distills insight into enduring form.
Conversations that begin in salons, forums, and exhibitions across the platform are translated into essays, interviews, and visual research.
What is spoken becomes written.
What is examined becomes recorded.
Future Of ensures that the ideas shaping the platform are not fleeting, but preserved and expanded through editorial inquiry.
- Annual Themes.
- Each edition centers on a defining theme explored across multiple disciplines and geographies.
- Through long-form essays, interviews, research, and visual documentation, the publication brings together perspectives from:
- designers and architects
- technologists and researchers
- cultural practitioners and storytellers
- policymakers and strategists
- chefs, makers, and material innovators
- The intention is not prediction.
- It is orientation.
- A way to navigate complexity with care.
HOW IT IS MADE
Research and Design
Future Of is researched and designed by Semi Permanent in collaboration with /OvN, combining editorial rigor with graphic authorship.
Publishing Partnership
Formist Editions serves as publishing partner, ensuring production quality, distribution integrity, and material longevity.
Limited Editions
Each release is produced in small, thoughtful batches designed for collection and long-term reference.
EDITORIAL Cadence
Launching with its inaugural edition in 2026, Future Of will continue through an evolving editorial rhythm, building continuity and depth across themes.
WHAT IT EXPLORES
Each edition examines questions emerging 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
These themes reflect the broader inquiries explored across the Tokyo Salone platform.
WITH GRATITUDE
Future Of is shaped through long-standing creative relationships.
Our collaboration with /OvN builds on decades of shared work. Members of the Semi Permanent team have partnered with OvN across projects for Sony, PlayStation, Samsung, Meta, and Microsoft, work that required precision, trust, and creative alignment.
Future Of continues that lineage in editorial form.
Formist Editions has also been part of the Semi Permanent journey for more than two decades. Their commitment to thoughtful publishing and independent cultural production has accompanied the platform from its earliest gatherings to this next chapter.
Together these partnerships ensure that each edition of Future Of is not only printed, but crafted with care and permanence.
