Showcasing the work of over 200 designers from around the world, this yearbook offers an authoritative guide to contemporary domestic design. Designers whose work is featured include: Ron Arad; Enrico Baleri; Antonio Citterio; James Irvine; Philippe Starck; Marc Newson; Reiko Sudo; and Renzo Piano. This year's selection has been made by the internationally acclaimed London-based designer Jasper Morrison. In a conversation with Michael Horsham, Morrison discusses the issues facing designers at the end of the 1990s, and the return to objectivity in design in evidence by the 1999 selection, characterized by simple forms, an absence of decoration and an authenticity in the use of materials.Previous page

Representing a new generation of designers in Japan, Kenya Hara (born 1958) pays tribute to his mentors, using long overlooked Japanese icons and images in much of his work. In Designing Design, he impresses upon the reader the importance of “emptiness” in both the visual and philosophical traditions of Japan, and its application to design, made visible by means of numerous examples from his own work: Hara for instance designed the opening and closing ceremony programs for the Nagano Winter Olympic games 1998. In 2001, he enrolled as a board member for the Japanese label MUJI and has considerably moulded the identity of this successful corporation as communication and design advisor ever since. Kenya Hara, alongside Naoto Fukasawa one of the leading design personalities in Japan, has also called attention to himself with exhibitions such as Re-Design: the Daily products of the 21st Century of 2000.
