Shot by architect turned filmmaker Jeffrey Durkin, this introspective piece on designer/architect/professor Miki Iwasaki explores how “the small objects in our life shape the big picture of how we live.” What began as a video aimed to capture the essence of Iwasaki’s furniture design quickly transformed into a short piece which addresses larger issues of society and the ramifications of design and consumerism.
More about the video after the break.
As the name suggests, the short piece begins with Iwasaki’s passion for furniture where the designer stresses an emphasis on simplicity. The furniture scattered on the walls of the studio and throughout the video are a testament to the designer’s ability to create beautiful timeless objects that speak to their material nature.
