Shiro Kuramata (1934–1991) was one of the most inventive designers of the twentieth century. Working from Tokyo, he made furniture that seems to defy gravity and material, from the steel-mesh How High the Moon armchair (1986) to Miss Blanche (1988), a chair of artificial roses suspended in acrylic. He joined Ettore Sottsass's Memphis group in the early 1980s, and his poetic, minimal work continues to influence designers worldwide. This monograph is by Deyan Sudjic, former director of the Design Museum in London.
