My Home Corporation Sponsors Bud Brand Award 2025
My Home Corporation has announced its sponsorship of the
Bud Brand Award 2025, a competition aimed at fostering young talent in design and creativity. The Bud Brand initiative, established in 2016 by the
Japan Design Bank, has continuously supported emerging creators by providing them with a platform to showcase their work during the prestigious Milan Design Week.
In 2024, the project achieved its goal by holding a solo exhibition in the Tortona district, an area known for its concentration of creative showcases, including the popular Super Studio. This year, during the Milan Design Week, Bud Brand successfully displayed eight notable works selected from over a hundred submissions, allowing aspiring designers to gain visibility and share their innovative ideas.
Among the standout submissions was the
Kumiko Ema by Mina Kondo from Kagawa University, which was awarded the corporate prize by My Home Corporation. This recognition highlights the company's commitment to identifying and nurturing young talent, ensuring a bright future for the design industry.
