Selected by Naoto Fukasawa of the Japan Design Committee, the various
objects included in the exhibition OptimumThe Designs of Original Forms
are presented as exemplars of their types. In seeking the optimum form,
which differs from original forms that are subject to individual
creativity, the efforts their designers have undertaken to discover the
absolute origins of forms becomes apparent. It is an insightful,
minimalistic and inspiring collection of things and typologies from a
range of notable designers. Besides texts and short explanations for
each by Fukasawa, the book includes a conversation about the selection
process and the intentions behind it.
