Katachi - Contemporary Japanese Product Design

by Schneider, Carsten 16 March 2010 in Better Things To Do

The Bauhaus-Archiv Berlin shows 100 examples of contemporary Japanese product design - modern interpretations of traditional items. Many are crafted from equally traditional materials, using techniques perfected over centuries, like these lacquer ware bowls.

Schneider, Carsten

Carsten Schneider studied Communication Design at Merz Academy in Germany, and holds an MA in Interactive Media Design from the London College of Printing.

The last 12 years he spent in London and Tokyo, moving through the ranks of interactive design agency Less Rain to become one of their creative directors. He has been working on projects for the BBC, the Barbican, Haunch of Venison, Red Bull, NEC, Honda and Volkswagen.

Together with his Japanese family he is now re-discovering Berlin, hunting down rare specialities such as natto, raw jelly fish or chicken knuckles. Although highly unlikely he is still hoping his family will succumb eventually to the temptations of Döner and Curry-Wurst instead.
