Misawa Design Institute
Potential wonder in trivial things is expanded by the minimum behavior. They give a form to the experience that a familiar thing feels like an un-familiar thing as a universal language with people worldwide. Vastness in the microworld and de tails in the macroworld. Complexity in simplicity and simplicity in complexity. The in-sect vision and the bird vision. For a moment and a century later. Going back and forth be-tween these two worlds, they are trying to increase the purity of what they create. They work on things that design has never done before, in areas and with people who have never had anything to do with design. They believe that design is to keep creating things that make people evoke the question, “Is this design?”
