Naoto Fukasawa - The Original
Naoto Fukasawa – The Original is a compelling exploration of the objects that have shaped the history of design. Developed in conjunction with a landmark exhibition in Tokyo, the book presents around 150 products—from the 19th century to the present day—each selected by Naoto Fukasawa for its pioneering sense of originality.
Organised chronologically, the book traces the evolution of product categories such as furniture, lighting, tableware, and toys, offering insight into how these designs reflect the cultural and social moments in which they were created. Featuring works by Franco Albini, Lina Bo Bardi, Konstantin Grcic, Alvar Aalto, Eileen Gray, Sori Yanagi, Formafantasma, and many others, The Original combines sharp visual storytelling with short, insightful texts that highlight each object's enduring relevance.
A thoughtful resource for anyone interested in design history, this volume reflects Fukasawa’s distinctive sensibility and deep understanding of form, function, and innovation.
