Kenya Hara: Draw by Kenya Hara

Kenya Hara: Draw by Kenya Hara

Kenya Hara inspires the world with his impeccable design - from the subtle atmospheres and environments he creates as the art director of Muji, to his ethereal exhibition designs, to his simple everyday objects, packaging and books. His design aesthetic can be traced back to a private practice: the diligent drafting of ideas and forms in delicate sketches and drawings which ultimately develop into convincing solutions.For the first time in his career, Kenya Hara gives insight into the captivating early stages of his design process. Ranging from tentatively sketched beginnings to confident designs of complex concepts, Draw immerses readers in the renowned designer's forty-year-long process of sketching and drawing by hand, leaving no doubt about the origins of his authentic designs. Set to inspire the next generation of creatives, the book can be read as a gentle, persuasive call for the return to analogue processes in the design cycle.KENYA HARA (*1958) is considered the most influential designer of present-day Japan. After graduating in design from the Musashino Art University of Kodaira in 1983, he worked as a curator and graphic designer before taking on the role of art director at Muji in 2002. Hara is presidentof the Nippon Design Center Inc. and head of the department of Science of Design at Musashino Art University. He has published widely on his design theory, including the books Designing Design (2007), White (2009), Designing Japan (2018) and 100 Whites (2019).
