Sony Design: MAKING MODERN –The Challenge to Create an Archetype–, an event to commemorate the publication of Sony Design: MAKING MODERN,

Around 30 products from the 70s to today were placed on display. Historic products such as the original WALKMAN®,
which gave birth to today's "listen on the go" lifestyle,” and the Profeel, which created a new concept in TVs, are nostalgic, yet fresh even today.
PlayStation® and other more recent products were also put on display,
giving insights into the evolution and maturation of Sony Design to many visitors from varied demographics during this 47-day event.
