Designing Design (Kenya Hara)

Great book on design with great images, I understand there are other books and magazines by the same author that I wish them to be available again. Amazon, please do something!

This books uses a very rich and poetic language to define modern concepts of design. It makes you fall in love with design all over again.

This title is exactly what you expect from the cover, it is absolutely amazing inside. Clean, conceptual work that ranges from product design to printing techniques. Its very Japanese aesthetics, the interiors are well designed and beautiful. This is a book that will inspire even the quiet.

Not only a beautiful book but also a great collection of images and essays, a strong contribution to the field of design literature.

The Book has a different approach when it comes to design, and its not the mere use of the banal connotation that design has become, but the art of designing and undertaking projects with special sensibility which is explained in its pages. The author shows through different examples of his work, when designing how he engage his projects in a more significant way. Simplicity and common sense. The eastern perspective and its way of life is strongly reflected in a very palpable philosophy which is the guideline throughout the book. Truly special lecture.
