Super Potato Design: The Complete Works of Takashi Sugimoto, Japan's Leading Interior Designer
Mira Locher
Super Potato Design presents the work of internationally-renowned Japanese designer Takashi Sugimoto (1945-2018). After studying metal sculpture at Tokyo University of Fine Arts, Sugimoto began his career designing a series of bars and restaurants including the iconic Radio Bar that became a favorite hangout of designers like Issey Miyake, Ikko Tanaka, Yohji Yamamoto and Tadao Ando. He was soon recruited to design retail spaces including the original Muji "no-brand" shops along with hotels, tea ceremony spaces and wedding chapels.
Super Potato's striking interiors have totally revolutionized Japanese design through the use of exposed concrete surfaces, rough-hewn timber and unevenly cut stone juxtaposed with salvaged metal and traditional Japanese objects to create a sense of power and timelessness. The design vocabulary created by Sugimoto is universally imitated in Japan today (and throughout the world). It is actually what we now think of as "modern Japanese design" although Sugimoto's own work has never been surpassed.
Super Potato Design presents 40 of Sugimoto's most important projects with 320 full-color photographs by photographer Yoshio Shiratori, who has worked with the designer since the beginning. Author and architect Mira Locher introduces Sugimoto's work and provides a thorough explanation for each project. A foreword by Tadao Ando and discussions with architect Kiyoshi Sey Takeyama and graphic designer Kenya Hara explore the direction of Japanese design today. A list of Super Potato's complete works rounds off this book.
