Naoto Fukasawa is one of the best-known Japanese product designers working today, achieving widespread recognition with his groundbreaking wall-mounted CD player, designed for MUJI in 1999.
Fukasawa has won acclaim for his innovative designs of familiar objects, which are based on his close observations of how we use things in our everyday lives.
This is the first monograph to be published on this imaginative designer. It charts his success within the IDEO design firm in the USA, at MUJI and in his own company, Naoto Fukasawa Design. It explores all aspects of Fukasawa's design range, from umbrellas and vases to sofas, mobile phones and packaging. The book is illustrated with never-before-seen photographs and drawings and edited by Fukasawa himself, and it places the designer's products into the context of the contemporary design world and offers a first-hand account of Fukasawa's design philosophy. It includes contributions from Antony Gormley, Jasper Morrison and Bill Moogridge from IDEO.
