How things have changed in Japan.
This book admirably demonstrates just how dramatically things have changed. Japanese design has now become world class and the eyes of the design fraternity are now focused and fascinated by what is going on in Japan.
The really interesting thing for me is that designers have created a recognizable style that belongs to Japan, reflects its craftsmanship and culture and is not derivative of Western design. In a world that is becoming increasingly globalized this is very welcome indeed.
This book presents a striking collection of cutting-edge commercial sites in Japan.Seven of Japan's foremost interior architects showcase their creativity in 34 shop spaces,salons, restaurants, bars and spas. Working in collaboration with a new generation of young entrepreneurs, these designers are reshaping basic concepts of how modern Japanese eat,work and shop. A whole new language of design, propelled by IT accessibility and the Japanese penchant for innovation and inter-nationalism, has given this generation carte blanche to redefine Japan as the world's next cultural superpower, as the nation breaks free from the barriers of tradition.
