A monograph of graphic design from a contemporary Japanese master. "The collaboration of light and shadow" This title includes over 60 works from restaurants, cafe sbars, dinings, clubs, shops, clinics and beauty salons that Mr.Katsuya Iwamoto, a radical interior designer, has handled for past 10 years. It also includes drawings, products. and rejected works. >> Katsuya describes "Embody Design" EMBODY, meaning to give concrete form to an idea, is a term representing the foundational concept of my designs and the name we have chosen for our office. I believe that this idea will create an opportunity for happiness and what we design to bind people to people, people to happenings and bond together individuals and society and individuals to their inner-self. For this reason there is no meaning in merely creating a beautiful surface. Through construction and design that combines a variety of existing aspects with ideal future designs, I believe we can bring people together, generate communication and create a space that people can admire and in which time is appreciated. This is what I have always aimed for and what I will continue to aspire to. >> 200colour illustrations
