Fukasawa's design for convergence and reduction in products
Getting rid of products now seems as exciting a design challenge to Fukasawa as inventing new ones. His studio is conducting a research project, called Intelligent Walls, to redesign the home by replacing existing objects with modular wall panels, each of which will fulfill the same function as, say, a sound system, radiator or TV screen. “The air conditioner attached to your wall right now and the refrigerator, eventually they will blend into the wall,” says Fukasawa. “Perhaps it will even reach the stage where the walls control temperature and humidity.” And hopefully, with considerable environmental benefit.

Japanese cooks who have special skills prefer knives without any ergonomic shape. A flat handle is not seen as raw or poorly crafted. On the contrary, its perfect plainness is meant to say, “You can use me whichever way suits your skills.” The Japanese knife adapts to the cook’s skill (not to the cook’s thumb). This is, in a nutshell, Japanese simplicity. (via iA » Kenya Hara On Japanese Aesthetics)
