Japanese Product Design and Museum

This is a fascinating selection of Japanese consumer product designs from the 60’s onward. Worth checking out for many reasons, including

  • This 1977 setup, in a room which looks fashionable again today. Note curtains from Autumn 2004 IKEA catalogue.
  • Assisted Suicide!
  • Ford Anglia? Note go-faster stripe.
  • Grey. Note the Georgette Heyer book.
  • Bike in the boot! Note saxophone for teen-party. [Edit: Ah yes, that’ll be Madness advertising the Honda City at the bottom, then.
  • OK, I’ll stop digging on the scooters now.
  • Transvision Vamp sell out. Again.

Plenty more where that came from. Beautiful stuff. Modern design – I don’t know, it looks boring by comparison. Hark at the grumpy old man.
