Super Potato Design is the first full-length book to present the
work and conceptual ideas of the internationally renowned Japanese
design firm Super Potato, founded by Takashi Sugimoto. Super
Potato's compelling designs for the interiors of restaurants, shops
and hotels, as well as Takashi Sugimoto's designs for tea ceremony
spaces and utensils, are richly complex compositions of materials
which create simple, strong spaces. Using traditional Japanese
building materials such as bamboo, wood, and stone, but creating
original yet timeless spaces, Super Potato's designs avoid specific
stylistic characterizations and short-lived fashion. By finding
contemporary expression for essential concepts present in
traditional Japan and combining materials in unexpected ways to
create exciting spaces, Super Potato's work has had a significant
impact on interior design in Japan and throughout Asia. Super
Potato Design is generously illustrated with 320 full-color
photographs by the respected Japanese photographer Yoshio
Shiratori, who has recorded Super Potato's projects since the
firm's conception in 1973. Architect and Japan scholar Mira Locher
introduces the ideas and influences of Takashi Sugimoto, the
founder and principal designer of Super Potato, and provides a
thorough explanation of each project. Architectural drawings
further describe the projects. A forward by Tadao Anso, interviews
between Takashi Sugimoto and architect Kiyoshi Sey Takeyama, and
also graphic designer Kenya Hara, explore the ideas relevant to
Japanese designers today. A list of the Complete Works of Super
Potato rounds off the book.
