Super Potato Design: The Complete Works of Takashi Sugimoto, Japan's Leading Interior Designer

Super Potato Design presents the work of internationally-renowned Japanese designer Takashi Sugimoto.Super Potato's striking interiors have totally revolutionized Japanese design through the use of exposed concrete surfaces, rough-hewn timber and unevenly cut stone juxtaposed with salvaged metal and repurposed objects to create a sense of power and timelessness. The design vocabulary created by Sugimoto is universally imitated today (in Japan and throughout the world). It is what we now think of as "modern Japanese design"--although Sugimoto's own work has never been surpassed.This book presents 40 of Sugimoto's most important projects in 320 full-color photographs by Yoshio Shiratori, who has worked with the designer since the beginning. Author and architect Mira Locher introduces Sugimoto's work and provides a thorough description for each project. A foreword by Tadao Ando and discussions with architect Kiyoshi Sey Takeyama and graphic designer Kenya Hara explore the direction of Japanese design today. A list of Super Potato's complete works rounds off this fascinating book.杉本貴志の作品集日本のインテリアデザイナー、デザイン事務所「スーパーポテト」創業者の杉本貴志の作品集。１９７１年から２００６年までに携わったレストラン、ショップ、ホテルのインテリアデザイン、４０作品を収録しています。
