In Praise of White with Kenya Hara (Part 1)

The Japanese design thinker, author and curator, also MUJI’s art director was in Mumbai to mark the opening of the MUJI flagship store at Jio World Plaza. Hara San as he affectionately called, addressed a select audience to talk about his work, philosophy, the aesthetic direction of MUJI and the exhibitions he has curated in different parts of the world. His thoughts about design rooted in the everyday and the functional were deep but effortless and light. In the flurried world of fashion, Kenya Hara’s thoughts form a quiet pond, the kind of place where ideas regenerate.
