New edition of the monograph on Japanese designer Shiro Kuramata with a new foreword by author Deyan Sudjic.

This highly acclaimed, first comprehensive monograph on the influential Japanese designer Shiro Kuramata (1934–1991) is published as a two-volume work in an impressive, specially designed acrylic slipcase edition.
Designers and design enthusiasts who appreciate Kuramata will be thrilled by the variety and depth of his extraordinary oeuvre – from the iconic Miss Blanche chair, crafted from artificial flowers and resin, to his idiosyncratic umbrella stand, which incorporates a walking stick into the design, to the How High the Moon armchair, made of wire mesh – many of his designs are still produced today.
