Hello, I am Shigeta, an Adan staff member.
The other day I visited "㊙︎ Exhibition: Rarely Seen Designers' Original Paintings" at 21_21 DESIGN SIGHT in Roppongi, Tokyo.
This exhibit is a collection of original drawings by designers belonging to the Nippon Design Committee.
The exhibition will provide visitors with an opportunity to peek into the minds of designers in a wide range of genres, from sketches and models to diaries, with a focus on "original drawings," which are the starting point of designers' ideas.
The ㊙︎ exhibition begins with a large video space. A stylish-looking man is moving a mechanical pencil with all his might. The man bending the wire so that it looks as if it is bent, gives the impression of a man who is not just an ordinary person.
The exhibition consisted of a variety of exhibits, from scribbles to carefully crafted models, showing how the designs that we are all familiar with in our daily lives, from logos to candy packages, were created.
Even I, who am not very knowledgeable about design, know and use many things, such as "Oh, I use this bank a lot," "I love these sweets," and so on! I love their sweets!
This exhibit is composed of a long, large exhibition table that allows visitors to flow through the "process" of each designer.
I was reminded once again that life is indeed full of design.
I would like to imitate each person's work process and the way they put their thoughts together! I felt that they gave me hints to improve the quality of my work and daily life.
Why don't you take a peek at this large exhibition that gathers the work of prominent designers?
