This eight-inch television for Plus Minus Zero has a flat LCD screen but was designed in the shape of a traditional cathode-ray-tube set. “It’s not about making things thin just because you can,” Fukasawa writes in Phaidon’s new book on his work.

In 2000 Naoto Fukasawa designed the Infobar mobile phone for KDDI, eschewing the trend toward clamshell-style phones. Last year he designed a prototype of a second iteration (pictured) with updated functions and rounded corners.

LAMMHULTS

To find the source of Lammhults highly-respected quality, you need only travel 450 kilometers south of Stockholm to the village of Lammhult, in the heart of Sweden’s “kingdom of furniture”. There you will find the Lammhults factory, a modern 10,000 square meter facility that also houses the senior management, staff and operations center, along with a showroom display of every Lammhults product.

Within these factory walls, one hundred or so local craftspeople ply the trade of their birthright, bringing Lammhults products to life. Furniture making is an inherited skill in these parts and Lammhults proudly points to the successive generations of workers they employ. Lammhults dedication to quality is further demonstrated by their heavy investment in the tooling required to reproduce their famous designs in mass. Whie costly, this use of tooling ensures protection against copies, while also ensuring that labour costs remain a more manageable component of final product costs.
