The Work of Shiro KURAMATA: A Microcosmos of Memory アクリルスツールが美しくて 'A while back, I used to think about furniture that was beautiful to look at, that is, furniture that had visual meaning, even when it was not being put to any specific use. Recently, however, I am more interested in furniture that is not intended to be used at all, but simply happens to manifest as furniture. In addition, changes in furniture are naturally not unrelated to the changes in the way that they are used and arranged, and instead of the conventional layout of arranging furniture neatly along the wall, one could also consider placing them in the center of the room or arranging them in an irregular manner.'
