There are few design studios worldwide that can deliver projects of such consistently high quality as the Japanese studio Nendo. Expertly melding architecture and interior, product, and graphic design with sculpture and installation, Nendo's work is both clear and sophisticated. The functionality of their projects is in line with established Japanese design traditions, yet their lightheartedness and humor is also inspired by the country's pop culture. The name Nendo, Japanese for modeling clay, is indicative of their skill at playing with the fundamental properties of objects. The studio has firmly established itself on the global design scene and routinely wins international awards. This monograph presents a striking selection of Nendo's multifaceted work including vibrant store concepts, mystically inspired exhibition spaces, sculptural furniture pieces, home accessories, and design objects. Regardless of how diverse the included styles appear to be, they all give the reader a sense of where the future of design is heading. |
