■ "S=4πr2" by Eero Aarnio

Born in Helsinki, Finland in 1932, Eero Aarnio graduated from the Department of Interior Architecture at Ateneum University of Technology. After working in the design studios of furniture designer Ilmari Tapiovaara and industrial designer Antti Nurmesniemi, he went on to create playful, organic forms using graphite fiber, a new material at the time, in furniture. His work has not only influenced the furniture industry, but also many creators in other fields, as well as a wide range of media, including film, magazines, and television. This book was released in advance at Eero Aarnio's exhibition "Life in Design," held in Tokyo and Osaka in November 2014. It is the only collection of Aarnio's works written in Japanese and serves as a valuable look back on his career. Limited to 1,000 copies worldwide. What is the source of his designs, which have kept him actively active as a designer even at the age of over 80?
