Japanese Design Today 100

Japanese Design Today is on from 17 to 31 May at Gallery Central.

An insight into the nature of contemporary Japanese culture is offered by this unique collection of Japanese designed household items. The exhibition presents designs for domestic objects produced during the 1990s, plus it casts a glance backwards to the roots of contemporary design, from the postwar Japan of the 1950s. There is the world’s smallest radio and TV, the Walkman and other innovative electronic devices, cars, bikes, furniture and solutions for practical clothing and low cost accommodation.

Japanese Design Today 100 celebrates the achievements, past and present, of the country’s design leaders and is presented by The Japan Foundation and the Consulate-General of Japan in Perth. More details here.
