Curiosity

Carolien van Tilburg

French designer Gwenael Nicolas and Japanese marketeer Reiko Miyamoto are the faces behind Curiosity, a Tokyo-based design agency. In a very short time this outfit has made an international name for itself, thanks to a compatible mix of graphics, products and interiors for clients such as Issey Miyake, Nintendo, Pioneer and Tag Heuer. As it unravels the evolution of Curiosity's work, this book simultaneously reveals a number of surprising links that tie one project to another. Included in the book are the following projects: Issey Miyake's Pleats Please shops in New York, Paris and Tokyo, container and packaging for Le Feu d'Issey, a Miyake perfume, graphics for a Pleats Please commercial film, Takeo Kikuchi boutique in Osaka, Tag Heuer shop in Tokyo, mobile telephone and audio player for LG Electronics
