Jil Sander returns! After the partnership was
established months ago, we finally saw some of
the collection which is called "J+" published on a
Japanese magazine! Remained Jil Sander's style,
the design is clean, modern, and well-executed.
The main color is black which develops a very
neat style.
J+ identity is designed by Mr. Kashiwa Sato. (D&L issue 15 feature.)
UNIQLOJil Sander
During the economic crises, UNIQLO is one of
the few succeeding companies in Japan. They
have collaborated with a lot of designers such as
Phillip Lim, Alexander Wang and Alice Roi through
its Designers Invitation Project, but this is the first
time they developed a long relationship with the
design master. UNIQLO is going to open up their
first flagship in Paris this fall along with the official
launch of "J+", we are looking forward to it.

Thank you for the interview.
Please introduce yourself to the readers.
I was born in Tokyo in 1968. I entered
Kuwasawa Design School where educational
policy is based on Bauhaus philosophy. Yet
my speciality at school was graphic design,
it was photography assignments that I was
particularly interested in. I studied photography
for art, photography for advertising and a
comprehensive art direction, from all angles.
And then, I was aspired to be a professional
advertising photographer so I started doing
shooting jobs professionally at the age of
22. For 5 years since then, I worked in such a
wide variety, mainly for coverage in overseas,portraits and still life. Then, I decided to shoot
still life as my speciality, got my own studio in
Tokyo, and had been doing product shootings
till now.
Recently I am also working positively on some
projects from NY.
When did you determine to choose
photography as your career and why?
As I also mentioned in my introduction, it
was when I was 18 years old. The history
of photography is not as long as the one of
painting, but because of that, I felt that the
photography carries more sense of future
potential in terms of the freedom of expression.
Your works are almost like paintings. How
did you develop your photography style?
I completely abandoned an idea of recon-structing three dimensional world in an image
but kept it 2 dimensional all the way through.
Objects in photos bring us back to the three
dimension in any time.

We found that you always have a different
angle to present an object.
Where do you get your inspirations or
ideas? What inspires you the most?
Objects for shooting in general always have
hundreds of appealing elements.If we tried to show all the elements, we
would definitely fail to do so.
What I do is to focus on only one attractive
element. And my work is to elicit the one and
only element.
The process is more like to "search" than to be
inspired or to get ideas.
What color do you like the most?
Red.
What is the best moment of your life?
When I shot a very beautiful photograph.
And what is the worst moment?
When I failed to shoot a beautiful photograph.
What is the next step for you?
To get more works from/in overseas.
Could you choose one important object from your every day life and
tell us why you love/need it?
The most important thing for me is my mood. When my mood is not good, it surely gives the immense impact on my
shootings. To create a better image, the priority is to keep my mood the best shape.
So, my answer would be "everything" since my action to gain the mood in the best shape is based on everything in my life.
What does "Design" mean to you?
What does "Life" mean to you?
Apurpose.

PEACE2In the Wallpaper August issue, they introduced
the exclusive typeface for Wallpaper designed by
Neville Brody, the London-based, internationally
renowned designer and typographer. At the age
of 31, with the classic work for the Victoria and
Albert Museum, he already became one of the
most popular and reliable designers around the
world. He then established Research Studios in
1994, lecturing and contributing to a variety of
cultural and educational initiatives.
The font for Wallpaper magazine is called "Peace
2." According to Brody, it is started with his
project called Peace & Love back to 2003. He
made a stencil font called "Peace" for the Tate
+ Lyle logo and slightly transformed it when he
designed a Victoria and Albert Museum poster
before it became "Peace 2" for Wallpaper. "Peace
2 smoothes out the original's sharp edges and
adds a lower case version."The font is very
geometric & architectural, which Brody admits
himself, and it is designed not only on the pages
but also can be fused into architecture itself. / v

Taiwantypographic crisis
Rixingis one of the rare typographic printing factories
in Taiwan, located at a small alley in taipei. Lots of old
chinese type letterpress were preserved here and all of
them are very precious and fragile now. Although the
typefaces are considered more elegant than computer
type, they are almost eliminated due to fast growing
printing technology.
Mr. Chang, The owner of "Rixing" has a decision. He
doesn't want to watch with folded arms and give up all
those decades of efforts. He decided to start a project to
save all those beautiful typefaces. He is going to buy a
CNC computer modeling cutting machine, copy all those
letterpress and send them to related organization to store
up. He asks for volunteers to participate this meaningful
project and help to accomplish the huge mission.
Nowadays, it is very hard to find stylish, refined
Chinese typeface for designers. Or we should say
the Chinese characters are too complicated and
difficult to develop and systemized. If the dream of Mr.
Chang comes true, not only he preserves the history
of Chinese printing but also provides some perfect
typefaces for the designers.
The project is still undergoing. If you are interested,
please contact them :

What we likeWe love good designed things,
things that are both practical &
beautiful. Things that enrich your
life & brighten every day.
Designer Dick van Hoff designed this
wood-burning stoves made of tiles for
Dutch ceramic manufacturers Royal
Tichelaar Makkum. In order to further
broaden the scope of ceramics, Dick van
Hoff had already been asked to ponder
a reshape of the traditional tile stove.As
a functional designer, Van Hoff was the
right man for the job: well known from
previous cooperation projects, he had
also proved to master the intricacies of
artistically and technically designing a
properly working wood burning stove.

BillboardBag Los Angles-based design studio
Artenica announces a new collection
born out of an exciting venture recycling
advertising billboards. The concept is
similar to FREITAG bags, but they design
a simpler bag. A single cut without
glue or a stitch, this bag lies flat and
weightless just like the recyclable plasticbag which is often used in convenient
stores such as 7-11 in Asia. The bag can
carry up to 33lbs. Advertising agency
TBWA is impressed by the idea and
requested Artecnica to recycle their large
format billboards exclusively. In the future
they intends on launching the second
phase of this venture which focus on
designs and systems for communities in
need.

Society6 is essential a platform for artists to showcase their work and for those who wish to
fund them to provide grants to fuel this artistic creativity. It does all of this with an interface that
is social by design. Grants are a central part to the Society6 platform and movement. Anyone
is welcome to offer a grant or apply for one via the website. Grant offerers can set the terms of
the offer as well as the reward. It has some similarities to online marketplaces, but is clearly not
about making money, but about sharing art.
The last important part of Society6 is studios, which is essentially an artists' presence on the
website. Users can create studios and bring in friends and team members. They can then use
their studio presence to promote work and offer grants. What makes Society6 most useful,
though, are the social aspects, specifically the ability to follow specific studios, to create profiles,
to add subscriptions, and to provide feedback and support via comments.

TOMATO &
EGG PASTAwith Paprika Chicken Winigs
1/2 recipe by Small
Less is More.
The best way to enjoy the food is to use as less seasonings as possible. I
have made kinds of tomato sauce for pasta, and I always been thinking
what ingredients can be omitted from my recipe. Too many different
tastes would reduce the fun enjoying the meal and would destroy the
wonderful taste of tomato. So it is very obvious that the most important
ingredients we need here are fresh tomatoes & basil.
This Tomato & Egg Pasta is based on my simplest tomato sauce andtwisting with soy sauce. Soy sauce? That's right! Believe it or not, soy
sauce is so perfect to tomato sauce that you cant even imagine Besides,
chive goes well with basil as well. If you are curious about the result of this
dish, its time for you to try. Bon appetite!
