Taipei · 3–6 JUL 2026
T-TASTE · Taipei Creative Design Fair 2026
A broad Glowing Star creator showcase inside Taipei's summer creative-design fair, bringing together six distinct character and product languages under one curated selection.
The Glowing Star selection included Wenjuju, Inukemono, JMO Finger, Rabitt Planet, Willstudio and Pretty Useless Club.
The fair mixed designer toys with stationery, illustration and everyday creative goods, allowing very different creators to meet the same consumer audience.
Rather than asking every creator to look alike, our job was to give visitors a clear way to understand what made each one different.
The setting
The Taipei creative-design fair sits alongside the Taiwan International Creative Stationery Fair at Taipei World Trade Center. It brings together original character IP, designer toys, illustration, stationery, handmade work and creative lifestyle products in one consumer-facing event.

Through Glowing Star's eyes
This was one of the clearest examples of how we want Glowing Star to work. The booth was not about one aesthetic. We brought different creators together and used selection, display and storytelling to help visitors move from one world to another. The common thread was not style; it was that each creator had something worth discovering.
The creators we brought
Wenjuju
Designer Figures
Brought a designer-figure practice into a wider creative-goods setting, allowing visitors to encounter collectible work alongside illustration and everyday design.
Inukemono
Showa-Retro Art Toys
Introduced a distinctive retro character universe whose visual language stands apart from conventional cute-character merchandise.
JMO Finger
Miniature Food Charms
Used small, immediately understandable handmade objects as an easy first encounter with an independent creator.
Rabitt Planet
Original Character & Soft Vinyl
Placed RABITT beside a much broader mix of creative products, helping us understand how the character performs beyond a dedicated toy-collector audience.

Toy, Product & Character Design
