●内容简介——

一本大开本的书揭示了 Nendo 独特创作过程背后的秘密。

他将自己的公司命名为“Nendo”，这是日语中“造型粘土”的意思；他使用漫画式的草图来阐述他的设计理念；他创造了富有想象力的家具：他是佐藤大，日本多产的设计师之一。在任何特定时刻，他都有数百个项目在进行中——建筑、室内设计、家具、餐具等等。佐藤说：“没有什么是我不愿意设计的。”

佐藤以非凡的概念清晰度呈现他的设计。一开始，他让自己的想象力自由驰骋，然后用简单的黑线画记录他的想法——无论是由单个陶瓷漩涡定义的浴室面盆，还是一双扭在一起成为一体的木筷子。这些 2D 图像被转换成极简的 3D 形状，用干净的轮廓和大部分单色调色板描述。就像传统的日本水墨画，只需几笔就能构建出一幅图像，佐藤去除了不重要的部分，消除了干扰。

Project Nendo 以佐藤的原始草图、全尺寸产品图片和说明文字为特色，揭示并解开了这位设计师独特的创作过程，引导读者一步步走进他创新而有趣的世界，揭开他五十件独特作品背后的秘密。

A large-format book that uncovers the secrets behind Nendo’s unique creative process.

He named his firm ‘Nendo’, the Japanese word for modelling clay; he uses manga-like sketches to illustrate his design concepts; and he creates some of the most imaginative furniture in the world: he is Oki Sato, one of Japan’s most prolific designers. At any given moment, he has hundreds of projects in the works – architecture, interiors, furniture, tableware, and more. ‘There is nothing I would not design,’ says Sato.

Sato renders his designs with remarkable conceptual clarity. At the outset, he allows his imagination to run wild and then documents his idea with a simple black line drawing – be it a bathroom basin defined by a single, ceramic swirl or a pair of wooden chopsticks that twist together to become one. These 2D images are converted into minimal 3D shapes described with clean outlines and a largely monochrome palette. Like a traditional Japanese ink painting, which constructs an image with just a few brush strokes, Sato extracts the unnecessary and eliminates distraction.

Featuring Sato’s original sketches, full-scale product images and explanatory texts, Project Nendo uncovers and unpicks the designer’s unique creative process, guiding the reader step-by-step through his innovative and playful world to reveal the secrets behind fifty of his inimitable works.
