Announcing the inauguration of the Sori Yanagi Appreciation Society, this is also the first publication outside of Japan on one of the 20th century’s most important industrial designers. Sori Yanagi (1915–2011) is especially known for his ability to merge modernist simplicity and practicality with elements of traditional Japanese crafts in products that are both uncomplicated and beautiful. Founded by Michael Marriott and Duncan Riches, the society aims to bring knowledge about his legacy to a wider audience. The book features more than 100 contributions from designers, curators, artists, and critics, including anecdotal and academic texts, drawings, photographs, and more.
