Design demands the power to discern all things, while bringing clear insight into play at the same time. In Britain and America, outstanding eyesight is described as “20/20 vision” (or sight), as well as “perfect vision.” Working from this nomenclature, a search was made for a name that would express the concept of “a venue to convey designs seeing further ahead.” Following considerable contemplation, the decision was made to adopt the name “21_21 Design Sight.”
