Tsutomu Kurokawa`s designs have a sense of humour and warmth, even those with the hardest industrial surfaces; a poetic, delicate sensitivity flowing through. He never forgot the role of the user, the conforming of their viewpoint and the creator`s dream a test he relished - taking issue with the complacency of designers who simply follow set `rules` without questioning them. When making space designs, Kurokawa said, I propose a space to the client based on the needs the client has, but which he has not yet imagined. I believe this is true design. Before his death in 2005, he created what he called, `space which is free, comfortable and full of potential`, merging different elements into one place or piece of furniture, proposing and testing design ideas every day. Tsumotu Kurokawa possessed a unique vitality, coming as close as one can to what we might call the truth of design. Text in English and Japanese. ISBN 9784903348032
