Kenya Hara inspires the world with his impeccable design - from the subtle atmospheres and
environments he creates as the art director of Muji to his ethereal exhibition designs to his
simple everyday objects packaging and books. His design aesthetic can be traced back to a
private practice: the diligent drafting of ideas and forms in delicate sketches and drawings
which ultimately develop into convincing solutions. For the first time in his career Kenya
Hara gives insight into the captivating early stages of his design process. Ranging from
tentatively sketched beginnings to confident designs of complex concepts "Draw" immerses
readers in the renowned designer's forty-year-long process of sketching and drawing by hand
leaving no doubt about the origins of his authentic designs. Set to inspire the next generation
of creatives the book can be read as a gentle persuasive call for the return to analogue
processes in the design cycle.
