For Nendo: 10/10, celebrating a decade of work by the renowned Japanese design studio Nendo, I contributed project texts. The book’s design reflects the atmosphere evoked by the work profiled within its pages – poetic and peaceful. Published by Gestsalten in August 2013.
From the publisher’s website:
Oki Sato founded nendo in Tokyo in 2002. Since then, it has become one of the most sought-after design studios worldwide. The name nendo is Japanese for modeling clay. It is indicative of the studio’s playful, yet rational approach. … Each of the book’s ten chapters showcases one of nendo’s design principles. Chapters explore, for example, nendo’s compelling approach to multiplying, linking, concealing, balancing, magnifying, and folding.
