Shiro Kuramata

A new edition of the definitive monograph on Japanese designer Shiro Kuramata, featuring a new introduction from author Deyan Sudjic

Designers and design enthusiasts who love Kuramata will be astonished by the breadth and depth of Kuramata s remarkable body of work, from the iconic Miss Blanche chair, made from artificial flowers and resin, to his idiocyncratic umbrella stand that incorporates a walking stick into its design, and the armchair How High the Moon, which is made from metal mesh, many of which are still in production today.
