As a leading Japanese designer, Shigeru Uchida (1943–2016) engaged in diverse design projects worldwide from architectural interior, furniture, and industrial design to urban planning. In 1970 he established the Uchida Design Institute with a small team who have inherited his thoughts and design principles, continuing the exceptional work he produced over the 70s, 80s, and 90s. Here, we showcase just a handful of some of his (and his studio's) most iconic designs with minimalist aesthetics.
