Japanese
Design Today 100
Exhibit opening on February 8th at 6:00
pm.
This international traveling exhibition consists of approximately
100 of the finest examples of Japanese design created between
the 1990s and today. The exhibition focuses on products
used in everyday life and gives a vivid picture of the hopes
and dreams of the Japanese designers and corporations who
create them.
Visitors will learn about recent trends and characteristics
of Japanese design, and will gain insight into the nature
of contemporary Japanese culture. Thirteen objects of modern
design are included from the early postwar years to show
the origin of today’s design. Among the designs are
the Akari Lamp by Isamu Noguchi, the Butterfly Stool by
Sori Yanagi, A-POC clothing by Issey Miyake, Silent Violin
by Masaharu Ohno and the AIBO Entertainment Robot by Hajime
Sorayama.
