Brand new, unopened. Comes with a storage box and acrylic case.
Set of 2 books

A collection of works by Shiro Kuramata, a leading Japanese designer of post-war Japan. This definitive edition comprehensively introduces the works created by the globally acclaimed artist throughout his life.

This book, the first monograph for an artist who has had a significant impact on the world, has been widely praised worldwide since its publication. This collection introduces all of the works that have captivated people's hearts and established a firm originality. Not only is the content rich, but the set of two books is housed in a multi-colored acrylic slipcase, just like the first edition.

This book covers over 600 of the artist's works, including illustrations and a list of works. From the representative work "Miss Blanche," made of artificial flowers and resin, to the "umbrella stand F.1.86" which incorporates a cane into its design, and the mesh-like expanded metal armchair "How High the Moon," named after a famous jazz standard, designers and enthusiasts who love the artist will be amazed by its breadth and depth.

The book design was created by (Studio) Jonathan Hares and won a "Wood Pencil" at the "D&AD Awards 2014," an internationally prestigious award in the design and advertising field.
