The actual items will be introduced with their comments.
Message from Gen Suzuki, Gallery Curator
This exhibition presents “My Favorite Design” selected by members of Japan Design Committee, focusing on works from the Design Collection. This exhibition follows the theme that Yusaku Kamekura, who was a member of the Design Gallery at that time, and others planned for the first exhibition of the Design Gallery about 60 years ago.
It is a simple theme, but the designer’s ideas and personalities are condensed in “my favorite”. We hope you will enjoy the exhibition.
