Produktbeschreibung

For 20 years, Yoshihisa Iida has fashioned bespoke umbrellas and textiles through his Iida Kasaten brand. This book presents all 160 of his works to date in myriad colour variations. The array of umbrellas, parasols, fabrics, and design drawings sheds light on his process of first sketching by hand, then designing his fabrics and transforming them into umbrellas. From floral motifs to “Cotton Swabs”, “Corn Cob”, and even “Oden Hotpot”, Iida’s imagination is revealed in all its colourful inventiveness. In essays, Iida writes about the inspirations he gains from everyday life and the specific demands of designing fabrics for umbrellas. A delightful book for anyone interested in fine crafts.
