Shiro Kuramata (Tokyo, 1934-1991) was one of the most influential Japanese designers of the 20th century. He combined traditional Japanese aesthetics with Western design and Postmodernism, experimenting with industrial materials such as acrylic, glass and steel to create light, surreal forms. After studying in Japan, he founded his own studio in 1965, revolutionizing design with an approach that went beyond simple functionality. He collaborated with Issey Miyake to design his boutiques and joined the Memphis group in 1981, influenced by Ettore Sottsass. Among his most iconic works: the How High the Moon armchair (1986), the Progetti Compiuti collection for Cappellini and Miss Blanche, a transparent seat with suspended roses. Kuramata has left an indelible mark on design, with creations that defy gravity and transform matter into poetry.
