"Yanagi Sori Design" is a photo collection visually showcasing the design aesthetic of Sori Yanagi (1915-2011), a leading figure in Japanese product design. Yanagi created numerous simple, functional products that are gentle on the human hand and in everyday life, embodying a design philosophy that emphasizes not only "form follows function" but also "human comfort." This book features numerous photographs that meticulously capture the light, shadow, and texture of Yanagi's everyday products, from kitchenware to furniture and everyday household items. The pages clearly convey Yanagi's "minimal beauty"—the textures of the materials (wood, metal, plastic, etc.), the harmony of curves and straight lines, the flow of the design, and the feel of the product in the user's hand. This book is recommended for design students and those interested in industrial design, as well as anyone who wants to pay closer attention to the shapes of the objects around us every day.
