Description
This highly acclaimed, first-ever monograph on the highly influential Japanese designer Shiro Kuramata (1934-1991) is a two-volume title presenting all his compelling and idiosyncratic work in a stunning, specially designed acrylic slipcase.
Designers and design enthusiasts who love Kuramata will be astonished by the breadth and depth of Kuramata's remarkable body of work, from the iconic Miss Blanche chair, made from artificial flowers and resin, to his idiosyncratic umbrella stand that incorporates a walking stick into its design, and the armchair How High the Moon, which is made from metal mesh, many of which are still in production today.
